I have been following MoneySavingMom's "4 week to fill
your freezer" series and when she posted this recipe, I thought it was a
keeper because it was just a variation of an old favorite of ours. I haven't
had another chance to do a full "freezer cooking day," so instead of
making this in a 9x13 pan, I was able to make this in two 8x8 pans and freeze
one of them. I tweaked the recipe to our liking, and it's actually quite like
my Amish lasagna except with rotini pasta instead of lasagna noodles. And, surprisingly,
we like this version much better! I think it might be because there are more
noodles in this recipe and it just serves easier. And it's freezer
friendly...what more could a girl ask for?? :)
what you'll need:
- 1 jar Ragu sauce
- 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
- 1 box whole wheat rotini pasta
- 16 oz. cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Italian spices to taste
how you'll do it:
cook noodles;
meanwhile,
brown your Italian
sausage in a skillet & rinse, then
pour your Ragu into a
2 quart pot and add your meat and heat on medium-high
mix the cottage and
mozzarella cheeses and spices in a medium bowl
turn off heat for
sauce. put a little sauce on bottom of pans
next, layer as
follows:
noodles>sauce>cheese>noodles>sauce>cheese
bake for 20-ish
minutes, until cheese is bubbly and gooey
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
