Lasagna for Game Night!

Whether it is for a sports night or just friends coming over for a leisurely parlour game of Mahjong or Scrabble, this dish can be prepared a day ahead of time (refrigerate and cover with foil) so you can enjoy your company.

1 box of lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1 lb. of ground beef
1 large onion chopped
1 large jar of marinara or spaghetti sauce
1 large container of cottage cheese
1 large egg
1 package of grated mozarella cheese
1 package of grated parmesan cheese

     Preheat oven to 350°F. Brown ground meat with onions, drain.
    
     Combine the ground meat mixture with the marinara or spaghetti sauce in a large bowl.
     In a separate bowl combine egg and cottage cheese.
     Spread 2 tablespoons of ground meat mixture into the bottom of a glass, oven proof 9x13 pan.
     Place a layer of noodles in the pan; spread meat over the noodles. Then spread cottage cheese mixture over the meat; sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese next.
     Repeat with noodles, meat, cottage cheese, mozzarella and top with parmesan cheese for the last layer. (Makes three layers)
     Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes.
     Be sure to let the lasagna cool for 20 minutes and don't boil the noodles beforehand.
