Kitchen Kapers

By Mary John Resch

  About a month ago a friend shared her Lasagna recipe with me.  She said that this dish is one her extended family often asks her to bring when they are going to be together.  When I read her recipe I was interested to see that she assembled the dish with uncooked noodles.  I had tried this technique several years ago and my family was not impressed with the results.  However, on her recommendation I decided to give this method a try one more time.

  The Lasagna was delicious and this is the way I will make it from now on.  The secret seems to be in making and refrigerating it overnight before baking and the long cooking time covered with foil.  I placed my dish straight into the oven after removing it from the refrigerator and found the cooking time was correct.  This could vary slightly depending on your oven and the type of dish you are using.

  This recipe is definitely a keeper. 

Lasagna/Linda Walls

Serves 8

1 15-oz. carton of ricotta cheese

1 15-oz. carton of cottage cheese

2 tablespoons chopped parsley or to taste

1 teaspoon oregano or to taste

¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste

½ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste

1 large egg

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

3 cups grated mozzarella cheese

1 25.6 jar Spaghetti sauce—I used a sauce that contained Italian

    sausage

¼ cup water

½ pound browned Italian sausage—mild or hot (may add more if you

     prefer)

1 box  lasagna noodles—for the 8 x 11 dish you will need nine noodles.

Spray a 8x11 inch glass baking dish with no stick olive oil spray.              

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix ricotta, cottage and Parmesan cheeses together with lightly beaten egg and seasonings. 

Heat spaghetti sauce and water until warm.  Add drained browned Italian sausage to the sauce.  Ladle just enough of the sauce in the bottom of prepared baking dish to just coat it. 

Place three uncooked lasagna strips on top of sauce.  Top with half of the ricotta cheese mixture.  Sprinkle with 1 cup of Mozzarella.  Add three more lasagna strips, a little more sauce and top with ricotta and another cup of Mozzarella.  Top with three more lasagna strips.  Pour remaining sauce over the casserole.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.  Remove from refrigerator, place on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Remove foil and top with the remaining 1 cup of Mozzarella and additional Parmesan if desired.  Bake until cheese is melted and bubbles—about 15 more minutes. 

Allow to rest a few minutes before serving.
