 Ingredients:

    12 lasagna noodles (8 ounces)

    Sauce:
  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce


  • Filling:
  • 1 large carton (24 ounces) cottage cheese

  • 2 cups (8 ounces) mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. In a large pot, heat water to boiling and add lasagna noodles. When water returns to boiling, cook noodles 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Drain noodles and cool in single layer on wax paper or foil to keep from sticking together.
3. Cook ground beef in skillet and drain well. Add spaghetti sauce and stir.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine filling ingredients.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Spoon cheese mixture over noodles, followed by sauce. Roll up and place seam-side down in 9x13-inch pan lightly coated with cooking spray.
7. Cover with foil and bake 30 to 40 minutes or until hot.


Helpful Hints:

Pasta sometimes tends to stick together during or after cooking. A helpful hint is to use plenty of water. Bring the water to a rapid boil, add the pasta slowly, and stir during cooking to prevent sticking. Pasta is best cooked al dente (ahl DEHN-tay), which means it is firm to the bite! Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the pasta. Since the pasta in this dish will be baked, it can be cooked for a shorter time. Be sure and drain the lasagna noodles and cool in a single layer to keep them from sticking together.

Safety Tip:

Pasta is cooked uncovered in a large amount of boiling water. The boiling water helps circulate the pasta so it cooks evenly. Children could easily get burned during this step, so adult supervision is a must. Have a colander ready in the sink to drain the pasta so you can hold the pot with two hands.
