ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in calories and can provide a similar texture.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Provolone cheese can be less expensive while still melting well.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino can be a more affordable cheese option.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground pork is often less expensive than beef.

Chop a small onion and add it to a pan with olive oil.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook thoroughly while breaking it down with a meat tool until browned.

Drain some fat from the pan, leaving some for flavor.

Add a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes with basil to the pan and mix it all together.

Season the sauce with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then let it simmer until it starts to bubble.

In a bowl, combine about half of a 16 oz container of cottage cheese with 2 eggs and mix well.

Prepare a baking pan by spraying it heavily with oil and lining it with parchment paper.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake the mixture in the oven for about 16 minutes, checking for doneness.

Once the noodle is cooked, let it cool completely before removing it from the parchment paper.

In another bowl, combine 16 oz of whole milk ricotta cheese, 2 eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, a couple tablespoons of fresh parsley, a teaspoon of salt, and a bit of black pepper; mix until combined.

Layer the meat sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, followed by the cottage cheese noodle, then add the cheese filling mixture, and repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used.

Finish with a layer of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top.

Bake the assembled lasagna until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
