The Easiest Homemade Lasagna

If you are still buying frozen lasagna, this is the recipe for you.
It really could not be easier and is so delicious.  I mean, who doesn't love homemade lasagna?!  Whip up a green salad and some garlic bread and you are golden.  A super easy meal that people will be super impressed by.

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 jar marinara (I use Trader Joe's tomato basil)
16 oz. cottage cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup parmesan
18 slices of mozzarella (or shredded works, too)
8 oven ready lasagna noodles (I use Barilla)

*Brown the ground beef on stove.  Add marinara sauce and simmer.  In a 9x13 pan, put a little bit of the meat sauce.  Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.  Lay down 4 of the noodles.  Mix the cottage cheese and sour cream together in a bowl.  Spoon half of that mixture over the noodles and spread.  Put 6 slices of the mozzarella over that.  Pour half of the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.  Sprinkle half of the parmesan.  Start again with noodles and repeat steps.  Top with remaining slices of mozzarella.  Cover with foil (without it touching the cheese) and bake at 350 for 1 hour.  Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes.

Sidenote:  You can make the lasagna bigger by doing more meat sauce and more white sauce.  I will often do that when we are feeding more than just our family of six.  All the other ingredients stay the same.

I have no idea what is wrong with the internet when it comes to oven ready lasagna noodles. I am 3/4 Sicilian, my grandparent's on my dads side and grandfather on my mother's side are all Sicilian; right off the boat. I was raised on the finest Sicilian food known to man. Recently we bought the wrong lasagna noodles by mistake because the boxes looked so much alike. Oven ready lasagna noodles are disgusting compared to regular noodles. Yes they are easier to make but are grotesque compared to the normal type of lasagna noodles; you have to boil.
