Microwave Lasagna

by Marijo Phelps


The beauty of this is you do not have to pre-cook the noodles!



32 oz prepared spaghetti sauceplus 1/2 cup water

1 1/2 cup cottage cheese (no fat if you want to cut the fat)

1 egg mixed with 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (can be low fat)

1 package lasagna noodles

1# ground round cooked,browned and drained - stir into sauce

Combine the cheeses and egg mixture - stir together

1/2 pound mozzarella OR low fat cheddar cheese

In a glass cake pan (13X9) place one layer of noodles to cover the bottom of the pan.

Layer the cheese mixture, meat sauce and grated cheese then another layer of the uncooked noodles.

Cover with plastic wrap and cook in microwave for 8 minutes on high. Then continue cooking another 30-32 minutes on 50% power till tender and allow to stand 15 minutes before serving.

Serve with a tossed or fruit salad and you have dinner. this freezes well but I have never had any left over unless I made TWO batches. One to eat and one to freeze.

This is my sister, Colette's recipe from when she had 3 small children - boy did they clean those plates.
