Yummy Lasagne!

I always try and keep my recipes simple and quick so as to be helpful to the working woman of today or a doting mother or a beginner who has just stepped into the magical yet bottomless world of cooking. This recipe is my all time favorite as it is very quick yet filling and also can be served as a one dish meal, which in today's world is a luxury! And i know that it has a lot of cheese in it but hey we all love cheese once in a while... okay may be more then once in a while! My suggestion, have a smaller serving if u are on diet but do have a serving! :) So lets have a look at what we have got here....

Ingredients:

450 gm Lasagne pasta

4 cups Cottage Cheese

4 cups Mozzarella Cheese

2 cups Cream Cheese

3/4 cups Parmesan Cheese

3/4 cups Full Fat Milk

1/2 cup Tomato Salsa

1/4 cup Tomato Ketchup

1/2 cups Grated Onion

1 tsp Dried Basil Leaves

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Dried Oregano

1 cup Broccoli

1 cup Cauliflower

1 cup Grated Carrots

1 cup Sliced Mushrooms

Salt to Taste

Method:

• Grate all the cheeses separately and keep them aside.
• Grate the onion and squeeze it to remove the excess water but don't squeeze too hard.
• Finely chop the broccoli and the cauliflower so as to have no large chunks of them.
• Now boil the lasagne sheets as per the directions given on the cover and while that is happening mix all the ingredients together. Keep a little amount of cheese aside for spreading on the top of the pasta.
• Now grease a baking tray and then spread a layer of this mixture and then spread a layer of the lasagne sheets so as to fully cover it. 
• Continue spreading alternate layers and make sure that the top most layer is that of the lasagne sheets.
• Now on top of that, spread the cheese mixture that we had previously kept aside and then bake it in a pre-heated oven for about 50 minutes over 180°C.
• These Proportions serve 6-8 people.

Tip:

1. Instead of lasagne sheets you can even make this dish with shell shaped pasta or the spiral (fusili) pasta.
2. If it so happens that the lasagne is too much for you to handle at one time, don't worry, you can use the leftover lasagne as a stuffing for your lasagne sandwich the next morning!

Happy Cooking!
