Directions

  1. 1Add a pound of ground beef and two minced garlic cloves to a hot oil pan.
  2. 2Break up the ground beef and brown it.
  3. 3Drain the meat like you normally would.
  4. 4Add one can of Italian-style diced tomatoes and a jar and a half of your favorite spaghetti sauce (or two on clearance) to the meat.
  5. 5Give it a good stir and bring it up to a simmer.
  6. 6Turn the heat off and transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl and set it aside.
  7. 7In a smaller bowl, add one and a half cups of low-fat cottage cheese, one can of cream of onion soup, two whole eggs, and a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
  8. 8Whisk all of this until it is beautifully combined.
  9. 9Set the cottage cheese mixture aside and bring the meat mixture back.
  10. 10Put enough meat mixture to spread across the bottom of the pan, about a cup's worth.
  11. 11Add half of your cottage cheese mixture and spread that out.
  12. 12Add another layer of meat mixture.
  13. 13Add some oven-ready lasagna noodles, break them up, and just cover this however you want, there's no real rules.
  14. 14Add another layer of meat sauce, the rest of your cottage cheese, another layer of meat sauce, and another layer of noodles.
  15. 15Bring the rest of the meat sauce in and completely cover it, spread it out.
  16. 16Turn the heat up and bring this to a simmer.
  17. 17Put the lid on and just let it simmer for about 15 minutes so that those noodles cook.
  18. 18Take the lid off and check the noodles.
  19. 19If they're ready, put on a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  20. 20Put the lid back on and take this off the heat, you're just letting the cheese melt.
  21. 21Once the cheese is melted, take the lid off.
  22. 22If you have parsley in your pocket, throw it on there.
  23. 23Get a spoon, cut a piece of this out, and put it on a plate.
  24. 24Grab a fork, scoop up a big old bite of this and put the whole thing in your mouth.
