RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : Ruth Heiges Lunch/Dinner: Lasagna - dairy
I wouldn't dream of making a regular lasagna which calls for ketchup, ordinarily, but the taste of this recipe justifies swallowing your pride. ;-) Ruth Lasagna ~~~~~~~ 6 matzot 1-3/4 cups tomato juice 1/4 cup ketchup 1 small onion, grated 1 clove garlic, mashed 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 Tablespoons oil 8 ounces cottage cheese 8 ounces yellow cheese, grated 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated 1 egg, beaten well Place the matzot in a colander and pour boiling water over them. Drain immediately. Combine the tomato juice, ketchup, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, pepper, and oil. Oil a 9- or 10-inch (23 cm or 25 cm) square baking dish. Spoon a little sauce into the pan. Fit a layer of matza close into the corners, without any overlapping. Mix together the cottage cheese, beaten egg and grated yellow cheese. Spread a layer of cheese on the matza, then tomato sauce, then a bit of Parmesan. Add another layer of matza and repeat for a total of three layers, ending with sauce and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
