How to Make Italian White Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef (optional), 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 8 oz cream cheese and 1 cup heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional), 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese. Stir until melted and combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 15 oz cottage cheese.
  7. Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of meat sauce (or vegetable sauce for vegetarian option) in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  9. Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
  10. Top with half of the cheese sauce and half of 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  11. Repeat layers: noodles, cottage cheese, cheese sauce, mozzarella.
  12. Top with remaining lasagna noodles, remaining cheese sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  13. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
