Lasagna

This is my mom's recipe but for some reason even though we both use the same recipe it seems to turn out differently than when my mom makes it. So maybe it will come out differently when you make it. This recipe is really easy and is a bit healthier than the more traditional recipe.

Ingredients

1/2lb/500g ground beef/mince

2-3 cans tomato puree/sauce

1 tbls Basil

1 tbls Oregano

Garlic

1 packet of Lasagna sheets

1kg of cottage cheese (I like cheese)

Directions

1) Brown meat and drain fat

2) Add tomato puree, basil, oregano and garlic

3) Simmer for approx 15 minutes, the sauce will thicken up a bit and that is good.

4) For the US cook the pasta according to the directions, in NZ use the instant sheets or you can also use fresh sheets.

5) In a baking dish place everything in layers

6) End with the cheese then cover with Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan.

7) Bake in over at 180C/350F for 30-35 minutes till nice and bubbly.

8) When ready let stand for about 5 minutes to let set, this is the hardest part of the whole process.

Oh and sorry for the sad picture but I only had one piece left to take a picture of.
