Aim for a firm noodle, as the noodles will absord liquid in the lasagna. Put some olive oil in a frying pan and heat to medium-high. Add the onions and carrots and cook until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, remove the sausages from their casings and mash the meat up, and then add the hamburger meat and mash until thoroughly mixed. Add the meat to the fry pan and cook until no pink is to be seen. If desired, pour off some of the excess fat. Add tomatoes and tomato paste to sauce along with all the seasonings. Bring to a boil, then simmer until everything comes together into a delicious sauce, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If sauce is unduly runny (especially if you did not pour off the meat fat), then add a little flour until thickened. Layer the lasagna in a casserole dish like so: <ul> <li>1/3 meat sauce</li> <li>1/2 the cottage cheese</li> <li>5 lasagna noodles</li> <li>1/3 meat sauce</li> <li>1/2 the cottage cheese</li> <li>1/3 meat sauce</li> <li>mozzarella topping</li> </ul> Place the dish on a cookie sheet so drippings do not splash on your oven floor. Bake tsp cayenne # Rest of the lasagna - 1 1/2 c. cottage cheese (1 small container) - 2 more tbsp. parsley flakes - ~ 7 lasagna noodles and 1/2 tsp. salt for noodle water - grated mozzarella for topping Put a pot of water on to boil. Put some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and garlic a little. Add the sausage meat and mash it up into hamburger-like consistency, then add the hamburger. Fry the meat until no longer pink and then pour off some of the fat. Cook the carrots a little bit in the microwave. Add carrots, celery, any other vegetables, and tomatoes to sauce. Optional: blend them up first in the Cuisinart. Add all seasonings. Bring to boil, then simmer until it looks good (15 minutes?). Mix the cottage cheese with the second 2 tbsp. of parsley. Layer the lasagna like so: 1/3 of the meat sauce --> 1/2 the cottage cheese mix --> 1/2 the lasagna noodles --> 1/3 of the meat sauce --> other half cottage cheese mix --> other half lasagna noodles --> last 1/3 of the meat --> mozzarella topping. Bake at 350 for ~~20 to~~ 30 minutes. . At the end, turn on the broiler and broil for 4 minutes, or until cheese is crispy and well-browned.
