Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (30 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
  • 12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain fat. Stir in the marinara sauce, water, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove sauce from heat.

Arrange 6 noodles in a 9x13-inch baking dish, breaking if necessary to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over noodles. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate overnight.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake lasagna, covered, until noodles are soft, cheese is melted, and sauce is bubbly, about 1 hour. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
