# Sauce
- Medium sized white onion, finely diced
- 1 pound hamburger meat
- 1 pound spicy sausage, peeled from casings and mashed up
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 28 ounce can of whole tomatoes
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks + any other vegetables you want
- 2 tbsp. dried basil
- 2 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
- 1 tsp. salt
- Optional: 2 spoons balsamic vinegar, 1/4 tsp cayenne
# Rest of the lasagna
- 1 1/2 c. cottage cheese (1 small container)
- 2 more tbsp. parsley flakes
- ~ 7 lasagna noodles and 1/2 tsp. salt for noodle water
- grated mozzarella for topping
Put a pot of water on to boil.
Put some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and garlic a little. Add the sausage meat and mash it up into hamburger-like consistency, then add the hamburger. Fry the meat until no longer pink and then pour off some of the fat.
Cook the carrots a little bit in the microwave. Add carrots, celery, any other vegetables, and tomatoes to sauce. Optional: blend them up first in the Cuisinart.
Add all seasonings. Bring to boil, then simmer until it looks good (15 minutes?).
Mix the cottage cheese with the second 2 tbsp. of parsley.
Layer the lasagna like so: 1/3 of the meat sauce --> 1/2 the cottage cheese mix --> 1/2 the lasagna noodles --> 1/3 of the meat sauce --> other half cottage cheese mix --> other half lasagna noodles --> last 1/3 of the meat --> mozzarella topping.
Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes.
