I come from a very European family, so lasagna recipes were never quick and easy.

Some days, I just need quick and simple recipes so here it is!

2 Jars of your favorite Marinara Sauce

1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

16 Ounces of Sour Cream


Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 
  • In a large pan over medium heat, brown meat until no longer pink inside. Drain excess liquids. Add jars of sauce to cooked meat and set aside. 
  • In a bowl, combine the Parmesan Cheese, Cottage Cheese, and Sour Cream. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a 9X13 pan, spread one cup of the sauce mix on the bottom of the pan. Layer with lasagna noodles and spread another cup of sauce mix on top of the noodles.
