When kids help make healthy food, they are more likely to try it.
Show kids how to:
Use a can opener
Spoon sauce into lasagna
Grate cheese
Sprinkle cheese
Ingredients
1 pound
lean ground beef (15% fat)
1
large onion, chopped
1 clove
garlic, minced, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups
spaghetti sauce
4 Tablespoons
fresh parsley, or 4 teaspoons dried
1 teaspoon
oregano
1 teaspoon
basil
1 pint
(2 cups) low-fat cottage cheese
2⁄3 cup
shredded mozzarella cheese
6
uncooked lasagna noodles
1⁄3 cup
grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook ground beef over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) until it is no longer pink.
Drain fat, add onion, and cook until onion is clear.
Add garlic, 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce, and herbs; spread evenly in skillet.
Reduce heat to low (200 degrees in an electric skillet), spread cottage cheese over mixture, and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Top with 4 noodles, breaking remaining 2 to fill in open spaces.
Pour remaining spaghetti sauce evenly over the top of noodles; gently press noodles down to moisten.
Cover and simmer 15 minutes until noodles are tender. Top with remaining cheeses, cover, and simmer 2 more minutes or until cheeses are melted.

What a great lasagna, and it really is quick and easy when it comes to lasagna recipes. My 3 year old had thirds, and kept saying how great it was. I used black beans and corn instead of the meat. Also i used the Food Hero Quick Tomato Pasta Sauce recipe for the sauce. So yummy!! Will make again and again.

I made this using ground turkey instead of ground beef -- just as good, if not better than the original! It's a great lunchtime leftover for work, too. Actually, we had it for breakfast AND lunch the next day. :-)
