For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the meat sauce while it simmers. If you prefer ricotta cheese, you can substitute it for the cottage cheese in the filling. To prevent the lasagna from drying out, ensure the baking dish is well-covered with foil during the initial baking period. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients.
02 Step
Recipe View In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground pork and lean ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. (5-7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add minced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent. (about 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, crushed garlic, dried basil, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, dried oregano, and white sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they are tender yet firm to the bite (al dente). Drain the noodles and set aside. While the noodles are cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (8-10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, 2 teaspoons of salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
07 Step
Recipe View Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of sauce (about a spoon or two) over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Arrange two layers of cooked noodles over the sauce, overlapping as needed to cover the bottom of the dish.
08 Step
Recipe View Layer with 1/2 of the cheese mixture, followed by 1/2 of the remaining sauce, and then 1/2 of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers once more, using the remaining noodles, cheese mixture, sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
09 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly.
10 Step
Recipe View Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it stand for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This allows the lasagna to set and makes it easier to slice.
