INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Palmini lasagna by draining and immersing in a bowl of milk or nondairy milk. Soak for 30 minutes. This process helps with the overall flavor of the noodle

Place Palmini strips in a single layer on paper towels to allow to dry for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place chopped onions into a sauté pan to cook until translucent or lightly browned. Add minced garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes.

Next, add ground beef or ground turkey with Italian seasonings, salt and pepper until cooked through.

Add marinara or spaghetti sauce until heated through. Reserve about ¼ of a cup of the sauce for later.

In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, ½ cup of mozzarella, ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese and eggs.

Using the reserved sauce, begin to assemble the lasagna by spreading a light layer of the sauce on the bottom of the lasagna pan.

Next, create a Palmini noodle layer, then a meat sauce layer, and then a layer of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat (noodle, meat sauce, cheese). The third layer will only be the noodles and sauce on top. Then, sprinkle the other ½ cup of shredded mozzarella.

Shake on some Italian seasoning and a little garlic powder just to add flavor.

Bake for 30-35 minutes (ovens vary) until bubbly and golden.
