How to Make Papa D's Lasagna
- **Make the Meat Sauce:** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 3 cloves garlic, minced, until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (drained if desired), 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 bay leaf.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup dry red wine and simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.
- Remove bay leaf and skim off any excess grease.
- **Make the Cheese Sauce:** In a medium bowl, combine 15 ounces cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese), 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- **Prepare the Noodles:** Cook 1 pound lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- **Assemble the Lasagna:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
- Layer 1/3 of the noodles, 1/3 of the cheese sauce, 1/3 of the meat sauce, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers twice.
- Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- **Bake:** Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- **Rest:** Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
