Lasagna Casserole

Lasagna Casserole

1 lb. Italian sausage (I use turkey sausage)
1/4 cup chopped onion (I didn't add)
1/2 salt
1 tsp. pepper (divided)
1 lb. shredded Mozzarella cheese (about 4 cups)
1 carton (24oz) cottage cheese, I use lowfat, small curd
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1 box/bag pasta (medium shells, medium spiral, etc) cooked and drained
1 jar spaghetti sauce or alfredo sauce

In a skillet cook sausage until brown, drain. Sprinkle with salt and half of the pepper. In a large bowl combine pasta, 3 cups mozz. cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley and remaining pepper, stir gently. Pour into a greased 13x9 pan. Top with sausage and sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the rest of Mozzarella cheese, cook for 15 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes.

This takes a awhile to cook, but it's worth the extra work.
