I love lasagna and all things Italian. However, my husband isn't fond of noodles in general. Because of this, I don't really want to put forth a ton of effort cooking lasagna that he doesn't really eat (fortunately, the kiddos are starting to consume more, so I don't have to eat an entire pan on my own!).
In the first couple of years of marriage, I came up with this recipe, which is super easy, but still delicious.
The Easiest Lasagna Ever
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can or jar spaghetti sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
16 oz. cottage cheese (or ricotta)
3 1/4 cups mozzarella
10-12 lasagna noodles (I use regular lasagna noodles, I don't precook them, and they turn out great)
1. Brown beef with onion and garlic. Drain, and return to pan. Add spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, and water. Mix well. Set aside.
1 1/2 cups beef & sauce mixture
1/2 the noodles
1/2 the cheese mixture
Repeat, then top with the remaining beef & sauce mixture.
