Easy Lasagna

To those who tried my Easy Vermicelli, here's another recipe that you might like. I chanced upon it while I was craving for some Mouthwatering Pasta dishes.

I was hooked on the Greenwich Lasagna. It was one of the cheesiest and meatiest lasagnas I have ever tried in my life! It's also very tasty. It was not tangy, salty or bland... It was just right!

One day, I couldn't get a hand on an order of Lasagna. I started to research on how to cook lasagna the easy way.

Those in the know can attest that Lasagna is one of the hardest Pasta dishes to cook/bake. You have to prepare a cheese sauce, the meat sauce and, of course, cook the noodles! In addition to cooking, you have to bake the whole thing!

Well, I got just the recipe for you! It's easy in the sense that you need not slave for hours in the kitchen. But the cooking and baking is still there.

Here it is, folks! My own take on a very tasty, cheesy and delicious Lasagna!

LASAGNA

Ingredients:
Lasagna Noodles
1 Large Can Hunt's Spaghetti Meat Sauce (or you can also use Hunt's Italian Sausage Spaghetti Sauce)
1/4 kilo Ground Beef
1 Small Onion, chopped
1 Tetra Pack, All Purpose Cream
1 Container Magnolia Cottage Cheese
Quickmelt Cheese, grated
Mozzarella Cheese, grated

Directions:
1. Cook Lasagna Noodles according to package directions, until al dente. Drain, separate and set aside.

2. Saute Onions until transparent. Add Ground Beef and cook until the Ground Beef is golden brown. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Drain the excess fat. Add the Spaghetti Meat Sauce and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.

3. In a separate container, combine All Purpose Cream, Cottage Cheese, Quickmelt Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese. Mix until well blended.

4. Preheat oven to 345 Degrees Fahrenheit.

5. In a glass pan, layer the Sauces and Noodles in this order: Lasagna Noodles, Meat Sauce and Cheese Sauce, repeat as needed. Top with Grated Mozzarella Cheese.

6. Cover pan with Aluminum Foil and bake for 45 minutes-1 hour.

It's actually very easy. After you layer the lasagna noodles, the meat sauce and the cheese sauce, the only "work" you will do is putting the pan into the oven. That's it.

And this is my guarantee... Everyone will love it! My friends and colleagues loved my lasagna! It wasn't greasy (because I drained the fat), bland, sweet, or too spicy. The taste was just right because of the Canned Spaghetti Sauce. You really don't need to put additional spices because the Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce has just the right amount of spices.

You can also substitute some of the Cheeses with other economical Cheese Alternatives. You may use Kesong Puti, your regular grocery Processed Cheese, or whatever cheese you'd like (except Blue Cheese or sour cheeses, of course!).

Hope you like my new recipe. I will try to share more if time permits. Enjoy!
