  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. basil
  • 12-15 lasagne noodles, half-cooked

  • 1 lb. mozzarella
  • 1/2 lb. grated asiago cheese
  • roasted red peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, whatever

    The Sauce

    Use a good tomato sauce: Homemade, or a classico sauce, or whatever. Heat it up. Add oregano, basil, salt & pepper, and make taste tasty.

    The Cheese

    Beat the egg in a bowl about yeah-big. Add the cottage cheese, and blend. Chop the spinach. Dump boiling water over spinach so it wilts, then strain. Combine with the cheese/egg mixture. Add some salt, pepper, and nutmeg if you're going for style points.
