How to Make It
1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil and add 4 tablespoons of salt.
- Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions.
2. Make the Meat Sauce:
- In a large skillet or cast iron pan, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a fork or handheld grinder.
- Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons of Pam’s Prep Seasoning, thyme, oregano, and basil.
- Cook until meat is fully browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add pasta sauce, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, mix the egg with the cottage cheese. Set aside.
- Drain pasta and cool with a splash of cold water.
4. Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a 10x15 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Add a small layer of meat sauce to the bottom to prevent sticking.
- Layer noodles over the sauce, then dollops of the cottage cheese mixture (about 1/4), followed by cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella.
- Repeat layers until meat sauce is used up, finishing with a cheese layer.
- Top final layer with parmesan and grated parmesan cheese.
5. Bake:
- Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Uncover, sprinkle with parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon of Pam’s Prep Seasoning.
- Bake uncovered for 10 more minutes until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow lasagna to set.
