“Your favourite recipe”

My favourite recipe is one I have been trying to perfect since the first time I attempted (and semi-succeeded) to make it: my mom’s lasagna.

It may take a while to make, but it’s pretty easy, making it a great meal for those cold wintry nights.

Recipe:

Meat Sauce

• 1 kg of ground beef
• 1 large onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
  • Cook these together until the meat is brown
• One big tin of tomatoes
• One tin of tomato paste
• 3 small tomato-paste tins of water
  • Add to the pan with the meat
  • Sprinkle with dried oregano and basil until covered
  • Stir the sauce and cook slowly for two hours

Cottage cheese

• 1 tub of cottage cheese
• Splash of milk
• One egg
  • Mix together

Mozzarella

• 2 balls of mozzarella cut into slabs

Putting it all together

• Butter a pyrex glass dish
• Layer with lasagna noodles, meat sauce, cottage cheese and mozzarella. Do this three times
• Cover the top layer with breadcrumbs and sprinkle with parmesan cheese
• Place in oven at 350°F and cook for an hour

And voila!

You’ll have a magnificent meal that should give you leftovers for a week. That is, unless you’re feeding a pair of teenaged boys that can eat most of it in one sitting.
