I guess you could call this Wisconsin Lasagna.
I've been all over the US and I've never had a Lasagna that tasted like this.  It's the way my mom made it for us when I was growing up.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Salt
  • 1 package lasagna noodles
  • 2 pounds Italian sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 cans tomato sauce
  • 1 cans tomato paste
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (large curd)
  • 3 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain and arrange in casserole (see below).

While noodles are boiling, brown Italian sausage in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, adding chopped onion, garlic and oregano to meat as it cooks. When meat has browned, drain off fat and then add tomato sauce and paste. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven for 350 degrees F.

Spray a 9 X 13 cake pan with a nonstick cooking spray. Lay noodles lengthwise across bottom of casserole dish. Spread a layer of cottage cheese over top of noodles. Add a layer of meat mixture, then cover with cheese and repeat for a total of 3 layers. Finish with a layer of cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
