World's Best LASAGNA!

This recipe is loved by adults AND children! I have taken it to families I needed to make meals for, and they always want the recipe! I think it is the yummy basil flavor that makes it so tasty!

Meat Mixture:

1 pound ground beef, browned

1 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic

1 Tablespoon basil

1 Tablespoon parsley

16 ounces tomatoes, diced

12 ounces tomato paste

Cheese Mixture:

3 cups cottage cheese

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

2 Tablespoons parsley

1 1/2 pounds mozzarella cheese, grated

10 ounces lasagna noodles (about 9-10 noodles), cooked to box directions

After browning ground beef, simmer together all meat mixture ingredients for 30 minutes or until the majority of the liquid is simmered out. In a bowl combine cheese mixture ingredients. In a 9x11 pan, layer noodles, cheese mixture, meat mixture and mozzarella cheese. Repeat 3 times, ending with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375, uncovered, for 45 minutes. If cheese begins to brown, cover with foil and continue cooking.
