Directions:Meat Filling:
Remove sausage from casings. In Dutch oven, cook sausage and beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink; transfer to plate. Spoon off all but 1 tbsp fat. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper and hot pepper flakes to pan; cook stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and meat; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 25 minutes or until thickened.
Cheese Filling:
Meanwhile, in bowl, beat together eggs, pepper and nutmeg. Blend in cottage, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles for 6 to 8 minutes or until almost tender. Transfer to cold water. Drain and arrange in single layer between damp tea towels. Spread 1 cup of the meat filling in 13x9 inch glass baking dish. Top with one-third of the noodles; spread with one-third of the remaining meat filling, then half of the cheese filling and half of the spinach. Starting with noodles, repeat layer once.
Top with remaining noodles; spread with remaining meat filling. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover loosely with foil; bake in 375ºF oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. |
