Recipes No-Fuss Lasagna 4.5 (6) 6 Reviews 2 Photos I like this recipe because it can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving, so it's a great way to avoid that last-minute rush when attending a potluck. Using packaged spaghetti sauce and noodles that are not pre-boiled makes preparation especially quick. --Denise Goedeken Platte Center, Nebraska By Allrecipes Member Published on August 2, 2021 Save Rate Print Share Trending Videos Close this video player Prep Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 15 mins Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Servings: 8 Yield: 8 servings Ingredients 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste 3 cups water 2 (1.5 ounce) packages spaghetti sauce mix 1 tablespoon sugar 4 teaspoons dried parsley flakes ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon pepper 2 eggs, beaten 1 (16 ounce) package dry cottage cheese 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles, uncooked Directions In a large saucepan, brown ground beef; drain.
