Directions

1. Oven 350 degrees.

2. Cook lasagne noodles as directed on package. Brown beef with onion in skillet. Add tomato paste and sauce, mushrooms, garlic, basil, parsley, 1/2 t salt, oregano, 1/8 t pepper. Simmer 1 hour. Combine cottage cheese, spinach, salami, egg, 1/2 t salt and 1/8 t pepper. In 12X8-inch baking dish alternate layers of 2 thicknesses of noodles, cottage cheese mixture and Mozzarella cheese, ending with cheese. Bake at 350degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 156 minutes before serving.

3. Tip: Sprinkle 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese over casserole just before baking.
4. Note: recipe also calls for 1 1/2 C water to be added with the tomato products. I leave that out because I think it makes it a little soupy.
