Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger meat and chopped onions; drain excess fat.
- Start with a layer of raw lasagne noodles in a baking dish.
- Add a layer of Ragu garden vegetable sauce over the noodles.
- Spread cottage cheese and ricotta cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Repeat layers of noodles, sauce, and cheeses until all ingredients are used.
- Finish with a top layer of noodles, sauce, and grated mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven until the noodles are cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like oregano or basil to the meat mixture. You can substitute the Ragu garden vegetable sauce with any marinara sauce you prefer or even make your own from scratch. If you're looking for a lighter version, use lean turkey instead of hamburger meat or swap cottage cheese with Greek yogurt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the lasagne with a fresh green salad and garlic bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Italian recipes that highlight fresh ingredients. For a more filling option, consider a side of roasted vegetables or a classic Caesar salad to complement the richness of the lasagne.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the lasagne to cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but the oven method keeps the layers intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use no-boil lasagne noodles in this recipe?
Yes, you can use no-boil lasagne noodles; just layer them as you would regular noodles, but be sure to add extra sauce to ensure they cook properly during baking.
What can I substitute for ricotta cheese if I don't have it?
If you don’t have ricotta cheese, you can blend cottage cheese until smooth as a substitute, or use mascarpone for a creamier texture. Just keep in mind that this may alter the flavor slightly.
How long should I bake the lasagne?
Bake the lasagne in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
