Hey for sure you have been given a request..!
make ANY kind of lasagna sauce GO to the deli get ANY 4 kinds of cheese Cheddar, jack, mozzarella, ricotta, that's 4 there are still a hundred to experiment with AND don't forget the cottage.
You do know you can use tortillas instead of pasta
Just think corn instead of flour.
Now that will add texture and flavor.
"cooking is an Adventure,, experiment"
I use cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mozzerella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and parmeson cheese. Shred the cheddar and moz and mix in with all the others. Add a raw egg and blend well. You lasagna will taste better if you add your seasonings to the cheese, not the sauce. Then you just layer that with or without meat and a little sauce and the noodles, then on top, add a good amount of sauce to make sure the noodles are covered. Cook uncovered in 350 oven for 45 minutes to one hour. Let set out of oven 15-30 minutes to let the cheeses meld back together and eat! (1/2 cup cottage and ricotta, about 4 ounces of moz and cheddar and about 1/4 cup dry parmesan or 4 ounces fresh grated parmesan.)
Okay I personally think cottage cheese is yucky in lasagna...but if thats what he wants, thats what he shall have! If you can manage it, substitute the cottage cheese with ricotta!
Heres a good recipe, its mine.
1 lb ground round
1 onion, diced
(as much of each as you want, I would recommend 6 cups total) mozzerella, provolone, shredded parm, ricotta
1 jar spaghetti sauce
noodles, cooked, cooled and not rinsed
1 tablespoon each: italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley (I actually use more of this)
salt and pepper
Cook noodles, set aside.
Cook meat with onions and herbs, drain and cool. Mix with all the cheeses and sauce. Put some sauce in the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan, add a layer of noodles, layer of mix and keep going building until the last layer is a meat mixture layer. Cook for 45 mintes at 350. If you want, 10 minutes before you pull it out, add some extra shredded cheese to the top and bake until gooey.
Good luck and have fun.
