Lasagna Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sausage

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add Graziano's sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinara

   Once the sausage is cooked, add the marinara sauce to the skillet and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Lasagna Noodles

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. 4

   Assemble the Lasagna

   In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sausage marinara on the bottom. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the cottage cheese, half of the basil, and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining marinara sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top.

5. 5

   Bake

   Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. 6

   Serve

   Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
