When I saw a lasagna recipe that did not call for precooking the noodles, I was anxious to try this time-saving shortcut. Making some changes and additions to suit my taste, I developed this popular dish that I now call my own.

• 12 Servings
• Prep: 20 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing

Ingredients

• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1 jar (26 ounces) Hunt’s® Spaghetti Sauce Traditional
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 cups (24 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 to 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, pepper, dried basil and oregano
• 9 uncooked lasagna noodles
• 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

• In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and seasonings.
• Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles and a third of the cheese mixture, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice.
• Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 12 servings.
