Lasagna

I.LOVE.LASAGNA!

For most of my life I could never spell it but I have always enjoyed it. Some more than others. Now that I am preparing food for others I have been in the search for the BEST lasagna recipe, and one that doesn't take ALL day to prepare. Easier said than done :) But I think I have found one. So what does it take to be the best lasagna recipe? Glad you asked. These two things...

1. After trying different noodles and different methods of cooking noodles, for me I prefer cooking them to "al dente" rather buying the kind that will cook in the juices of the sauce. I know that it defeats the "easy" part of my plan... BUT in the end I don't end up having to use a knife to cut my food.

2. Cottage cheese rather than ricotta. For awhile I did use ricotta because then my lasagna wasn't soupy. But I didn't like the flavor of my dish. So I tried draining the cottage cheese and that took forever sooo... I have started washing it :)

That's it!
YUM!!!!
