Classic (Gluten Free) Lasagna

1 lb ground sausage (check the label, there are some GF options out there)
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
26 oz pasta sauce (Classico has multiple varieties that are clearly labeled GF)
1/2 cup water
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
15 oz (1 3/4 cups) cottage cheese 
16 oz mozzarella, shredded (divided)
6 Tbsp Romano or Parmesan, grated (divided)
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 egg, slightly beaten
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9 noodles

1.  Heat oven to 350*
2.  In a large pot brown sausage.  Then add onion and garlic and saute.  Add sauce and water.
3.  In a large bowl combine cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 4 Tbsp Parmesan/Romano, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, basil and egg.
4.  In a 9x13 casserole dish layer in the following order then repeat:

  • 1 cup meat sauce
  • 3 noodles
  • 1/2 the cheese mix
  • 1 cup meat sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella
5.  The final layer is a little different:
  • The last 3 noodles
  • 1 cup meat sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella
  • remaining 2 Tbsp of Romano/Parmesan.
6.  Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes.  Then remove the foil and cook for another 10.  Cool for 10 minutes then serve.  

Sometimes the gluten free noodles take a little longer to cook properly.  You can cook it longer or just make this ahead of time and serve it the next day.  If you want to add a little twist to the classic lasagna and shorten the baking time you can use fusilli noodles, pre-cooked and use them instead.
