Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1½ lbs. lean ground beef
1 lb. hot breakfast sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14.5 oz.) whole tomatoes
2 cans (6 oz.) tomato paste
2 Tbsp dried Parsley
2 Tbsp dried Basil
1 tsp. salt
3 cups lowfat cottage cheese
2 whole beaten eggs
½ cup grated (not shredded) Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp Parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. sliced Mozzarella cheese
1 pkg. (10 oz.) Lasagna Noodles
add ½ tsp. salt and 1 Tbsp Olive oil to Pasta water)
Directions:
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet or saucepan, combine ground beef, sausage, and garlic. Cook over medium-high hear until browned. Drain half the fat. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 Tbsp. parsley, basil and salt. After adding the tomatoes, the sauce mixture should simmer for 45 minutes while you are working on the other steps.

3. In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, beater eggs, grated Parmesan, 2 more tablespoons parsley, and 1 more teaspoon salt. Stir together well. Set aside. Cook lasagna until "al dente" (not overly cooked).

4. To assemble:
Arrange 4 cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of a baking pan, overlapping if necessary. Spoon half the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles. Spread evenly. Cover cottage cheese with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Spoon a little less than half the meat/sauce mixture over the top.

5. Repeat, ending with meat/sauce mixture. Sprinkle top generously with extra Parmesan.

6. Either freeze, refrigerate for up to two days, or bake immediately: 350º F. oven for 20-30 minutes, or until top is hot and bubbly.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe omits the normally used ricotta cheese which I am NOT a big fan of. That's why this is my "go-to" Lasagna recipe and also because it tastes so good! Yum.
