Description

When you want lasagna but don't want all the work involved, try this simple pasta dish with all the lasagna fixings mixed together and baked in a casserole dish.

Ingredients

1 cup wide egg noodles
1/2 pound ground beef
4 ounces bulk Italian sausage
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Pour marinara sauce into the meat. Stir in drained egg noodles, cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning; mix until incorporated. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square casserole dish and top with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
