Everyone who has tried this fabulous lasagna dish absolutely loves it; rants and raves over it; and asks me for the recipe. People are always surprised that it can be prepared entirely in the microwave. For a change of pace, I like to add a layer of sliced zucchinis. âMicaela Miller, Corinth, Texas Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
3/4 cup chopped onion |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1-1/2 cups garden-style pasta sauce |
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce |
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes, divided |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 cups (16 ounces) 4% cottage cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
6 no-cook lasagna noodles |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Crumble beef into a microwave-safe dish. Add onion and garlic; mix well. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes; stir. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink. Stir in the pasta sauce, tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon parsley and oregano; cover and microwave for 2 minutes or until heated through. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, basil and remaining parsley. Spread 1-1/3 cups meat sauce in a greased microwave-safe 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
3. Layer with three noodles, 1 cup cheese mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat sauce.
4. Cover loosely and microwave at 50% power for 15-18 minutes or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
5. Microwave, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
