Lasagna

This recipe came to me from one of my Young Women's leaders. Steve loves this recipe and it freezes nicely.

1 lb hamburger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon whole basil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large can tomatoes
2 6 oz. cans tomato paste
lasagna noodles
2 eggs
3 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 lb mozzarella cheese

Brown meat slowly; spoon off excess fat. Add next five ingredients. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook noodles in large amount of boiling salter water until tender; drain; rinse. Beat eggs; add remaining ingredients except mozzarella.

Layer half the noodles in 13x9x2 inch baking dish; spread with half the cottage cheese filling; add half the mozzarella cheese and half the meat sauce. Repeat. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. If assembled early and refrigerated bake 45 minutes. If assembled early and frozen bake 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
