Directions: |
Directions:Combine ingredients in large pan on a stove. Heat up good to begin with then cook on low heat for an hour or more. Lay ½ the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a baking pan lightly sprayed on the bottom only; spread ½ cooked sauce, ½ mozzarella, ½ the cottage cheese and ½ the Parmesan over the noodles; add another layer of noodles and layer the remaining sauce and cheeses as before. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. If you put strips of foil around the edges of the pan it will keep the lasagna from getting too crisp. It should set up for about 10 minutes after you take it out of the oven before serving. You can make it ahead of time and freeze it before or after baking. If frozen, you have to allow it to thaw before reheating in the oven until it’s bubbly hot. I usually use more cottage cheese than it says and make sure the mozzarella is NOT the top layer of cheese so it won’t stick to whatever cover you place on it if you want to take it somewhere." |

Notes: Can make many pans and freeze to cook later for a large gathering as she and Pam did for the 2007 Schmidt Family Reunion in Seattle.
