Traditional Lasagna

Prep:30minCook:1h 10min

My family first tasted this rich, homemade lasagna recipe at a friend's home on Christmas Eve. We were so impressed that it became our own holiday tradition as well. I also prepare it other times of the year. This classic lasagna recipe is requested often by my sister's Italian in-laws—I consider that the highest compliment! —Lorri Foockle, Granville, Illinois

I made this lasagna for 40 guests and it was delicious, however, after tasting the sauce I felt it needed to be kicked up a notch, so I added the following to the original recipe: 2 lbs ground beef 5-8oz tomato sauce 4-6oz tomato paste 4 large garlic cloves 3 TBSP Italian Seasoning, dried 4 cups cottage cheese 1/2 TBSP Thyme, dried 1 TBSP Oregano, dried 1 yellow onion, finely diced 4 cups grated parmesan cheese 1 extra cup of mozzarella cheese More salt and pepper to both sauces to taste. It was the best lasagna that I’ve ever tasted.
