Instructions

First, spray a 9” x 13” casserole dish with spray and cook. Put the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
Next, in a large pot brown the ground sirloin with garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Once the sirloin has cooked, drain any access fat. Add the sugar, parsley, basil, tomato sauce, and whole tomatoes. Break the tomatoes as the sauce heats up. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer on low for 45 minutes until thickened.
In the meantime, parboil the lasagne sheets for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl mix the oregano, parsley, ¼ cup of parmesan, and cottage cheese.
It’s time to build the lasagne. First, spread 1 cup of meat sauce on the bottom of the dish then layer it with 4 lasagne sheets. Next, spread some of the cottage cheese mixture over the layers and add another cup of meat sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Repeat in layers and finish off with a layer of lasagne, cottage cheese mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Sprinkle some more Parmesan on top and cover with tin foil.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes. Take the lasagne out of the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a crisp green salad.
