lasgana

The wind is whistling; outside the are leaves rustling down the lane and the sun is sinking lower across the horizon. You know what that means - it is comfort food time! I love to eat and cook and eat while I am cooking. There are so many options for me, growing up in rural Saskatchewan with parents who grew up in Northern Manitoba I learned a thing or two about hearty comfort foods!

Here is a traditional lasagna that is very easy to make and freezes well. When I make this recipe I pick up some disposable tupperware while I am getting the ingredients so I can stock up my freezer with easy lunches!

Ingredients:
lasagna noodles - I use brown rice noddles
extra lean ground meat - I used beef
tomato sauce - I used earthpure organic tomato sauce
cottage cheese
onion
green pepper
clubhouse Italian spice
three cheese italiano shredded cheese




Chop green pepper and onion and sautee in pan




Bring a large pot of water to boil and add noodles. Cook until just soft (al dente)

Add hamburger to pan and fry.




Add tomato sauce, garlic and a dash of Italian spice to hamburger.




Add Italian spice to cottage cheese and mix.




Alternate layers of  hamburger, noodles and cottage in pan.  Top with cheese.




Put into the oven covered at 350 for about 45 minutes and then uncovered for 10 or so.




Let cool, cut up and enjoy!
