Lazy Lasagne (Gluten Free)

This lasagne is made with just a few ingredients that are assembled quickly when you have a few free moments in the day and then refrigerated until you are ready to bake.  It also freezes very well. 

I usually have most of the ingredients in my freezer and pantry.

Simple and delicious.

1 lb. Italian Sausage

1 lb. shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 lb. frozen Spinach

1 jar Marinara Sauce

1 (16 oz) container Cottage Cheese

1 box Oven Ready Gluten Free Lasagne

2 Eggs

2 Tbsp Fresh or 1 Tbsp Dried Italian Herbs

(I use Basil, Oregano and Italian Parsley)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large sauce pan, brown the sausage and drain the fat.  Add the jarred sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Cook the spinach in the microwave and squeeze as much water out as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, spinach, and herbs.

Lightly oil a 9x13" baking dish.  Spread a little of the sauce in the bottom of the dish and lay 4 of the uncooked lasagne noodles on top.

Spread 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the noodles, then 1/3 of the Mozzarella cheese and a thin layer of the sauce. Cover with 4 more noodles.  Repeat the layers once.

On top of the third noodle layer, pour over the remaining sauce and cover with remaining Mozzarella cheese.  Lightly spray one side of a sheet of foil and cover the dish (oiled side down). Bake for 45 minutes.  Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Serves 8-10.
