 clove in a little olive oil, then add hamburger meat.  Cook well,
 drain off all fat, then add to tomato mixture.  Cook on low heat
 for a while (1/2 - 2 hours).  If consistency gets too thick, add
 some water.
 
 4.  Prepare cheese now:  mix cottage cheese with grated
 mozzarella, add sliced green onion, chopped parsley, freshly
 ground pepper.  You may want to have some slices of
 mozzarella for the top, or reserve some grated.

 pan.  Lay on a layer of pasta noodles.  Spread a layer of
 tomato-meat mixture.  Another layer of pasta. Sauce. Cheese
 mixture. Pasta. Sauce.  Add cream cheese in small hunks.
 Cheese if you have it.  Pasta. Sauce.  Use your mathematical
 skills to ensure that you have enough sauce to cover the top
 layer of the pasta.  Sprinkle top with grated mozzarella, or
 slicked, or Parmesan.
 
 6.  Cover with aluminum foil and back at 350 for 45 minutes.
 Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes to brown.  If you
 have time, let the lasagna rest for about 15 minutes before
 serving.  It is less runny and easier to serve.
