What is a simple lasagna recipe without ricotta or cottage cheeses?
Written by Guest on March 29th, 2011Question by ashleypgm: What is a simple lasagna recipe without ricotta or cottage cheeses?
I found a recipe online several weeks ago for lasagna but I cannot find it again. It only had a few ingredients…
ground beef
spaghetti sauce
shredded parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese
egg
and then several spices.
If anyone has a recipe that only has these ingredients please let me know!

Just follow the traditional lasagna way (form food network, everyday italian….you can find the one you like and the easiest one from foodnetwork.com) and just subsitute cheese with meat. It sounds risky but it worked out perfectly when I tried it. I also used rosemary sprigs, basil, and mint leaves in mine though.
