8 Minute Lasagna

I'm not kidding, it really only takes 8 minutes to make this. It takes an hour to bake, but only 8 to make. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

6 oven-ready lasagna noodles (I use Great Value brand from Walmart)
12-16 oz. Italian sausage (You can also use ground beef, but it doesn't have as much flavor.)
1 can of garlic and herb spaghetti sauce (I use Hunt's)
1 egg
16 oz. cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 TBSP. dried parsley flakes
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 F. Brown sausage in pan and crumble into small pieces. Mix with spaghetti sauce. (There is no need to heat spaghetti sauce.) In separate bowl combine beaten egg, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Place 3 dried, oven-ready lasagna noodles in bottom of pan. Center as much as possible. Top with half the cottage cheese mixture, then half the sauce mixture. Repeat with remaining noodles, cheese mixture, and sauce mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Fax isn't a fan of lasagna, but the rest of us like it. Plus, I like that you can make it in the morning, stick it in the frig, and bake it when you're ready. I usually serve it with some bread and a salad.
