Lasagna
All the ingredients and spices I used (ground chicken not pictured)
I started by chopping the onion and garlic, I use a 3 cup food processor and it makes the process too much easier!
Start sautéing the onion ( I added some seasonings in at this point)
When the onion is almost done add the garlic and finish sautéing
Add your meat and spices and brown.
Mix the eggs in with the cottage cheese.
Mix you sauce with the meat and mix in the cottage cheese mixture.
Start by spreading some sauce on the bottom of the pan so your noodles don't stick then layer noodles, meat mixture, and cheese, you'll end up layering three times and finishing with cheese (I had some fresh mozzarella leftover from another recipe so I through that on top as well)
I baked at 375 for 45 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes to cool.
Finished product (I always add some garlic and more parmesan to mine, Joe added hot sauce😂).
