lasagna
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Prepare the lasagna noodles according to package instructions to cook al dente.
- 2Drizzle the cooked lasagna noodles with olive oil while hot to prevent sticking.
- 3Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
- 4Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small crumbles, for 5 to 7 minutes.
- 5Season the beef with basil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- 6Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, then set aside to cool.
- 7Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 8Add cottage cheese and tomato sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth, about 60 seconds.
- 9Season the blended mixture with a generous pinch of salt.
- 10Transfer half of the cottage cheese mixture to a separate bowl and set aside.
- 11Add the cooked and cooled ground beef (leaving out any oil) to a mixing bowl with the remaining half of the cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
- 12Mix to combine the beef, cottage cheese, and mozzarella.
- 13Place a lasagna sheet flat on a 9x13 baking dish and add about 3 tablespoons of the beef and cottage cheese mixture to the end.
- 14Carefully roll up the lasagna sheet tightly and push it to the end of the baking dish.
- 15Continue this process until you have 12 roll-ups (two rows of 6).
- 16Top the roll-ups with the reserved cottage cheese and sauce mixture, spreading it to cover all roll-ups.
- 17Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella evenly on top.
- 18Place in the oven and bake for 7 minutes to melt the cheese.
- 19Turn to high broil until bubbling and brown on top, 3 to 4 minutes.
- 20Cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
