A delightful twist on classic lasagna, featuring layers of savory meat sauce, creamy cheese, and pepperoni.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat for even cooking.
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and sour cream until smooth.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top.
Ensure the noodles are evenly spaced for consistent layers.
Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of pepperoni.
Layering the pepperoni adds a burst of flavor to each bite.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Ensure the top layer is evenly covered with cheese for a golden crust.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Removing the foil allows the cheese to brown nicely.
Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting helps the layers set, making it easier to slice.
