Preparation

Step 1

Saute onions & garlic in oil. Add beef & brown; remove excess fat.

Step 2

Put into cooking pot along with tomato sauce, mushrooms, celery, tomatoes & oregano. Cook sauce for ½ - 1hr (celery & onions do not have to be cooked, as they will cook in oven).

Step 3

Combine in a bowl: cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, oil & salt, set aside.

Step 4

Spoon 1/3 of the sauce into a 9”X13” baking dish. Cover with a layer of uncooked noodles. Spread another 1/3 of the sauce; cover with noodles; then add cottage cheese mixture; followed by last layer of noodles; rest of sauce. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese.
