My Personal Notes

I've tried this recipe with many different variations: different sauces, adding pepperoni, all sausage, all hamburger, and different types of cheeses. This is my go-to recipe for lasagna. The two sauces really bring it all together.

It's a family favorite for sure! Don't forget some of your favorite breadsticks to go with it.

About 8 servingsPrep: 20 minCook: 1 hrOven: 350 F

Ingredients

  • 12 to 14 lasagna noodles
  • 16 ounces cottage cheese
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground sausage
  • 24 ounces traditional marinara sauce
  • 16 ounces Alfredo sauce

Recipe

  1. Brown the ground beef and sausage together, then drain.
  2. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 10 minutes. Run cold water over them until they are easy to handle.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and eggs.
  5. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce; they can overlap.
  6. Spread half the cheese mixture over the noodles, then add another cup of marinara sauce.
  7. Spread the beef and sausage mixture evenly over the sauce.
  8. Place 4 more noodles over the meat; they can overlap. Spread the remaining cheese mixture over them.
  9. Spread the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the cheese mixture.
  10. Add the last of the noodles. If you like a lot of noodles, add the extras in this layer.
  11. Spread all the Alfredo sauce over the top, making sure the noodles are covered. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  12. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes to lightly brown the top.
  13. Cut into squares and serve.
