| 1. Pour 1 1/2 cups sauce into a greased lasagne pan (extra deep 9 x 13 or larger). | 2. Add a layer of uncooked noodles (half of the noodles), overlapping them as necessary. | 3. Add 1/2 of uncooked meat, leaving it in small chunks. | 4. Sprinkle with onion. | 5. Mix about 1/2 cup of the hot water with the cottage cheese and spread over previous layers. | 6. Cover with 1 1/2 cups sauce. | 7. Add last layer of noodles. | 8. Top with slices of American cheese. | 9. Add rest of the meat, in chunks. | 10. Cover with the last 2 cups of sauce, and press down with a spatula to remove air pockets. | 11. Pour the rest of the hot water around the edges of the pan. | 12. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 350 degrees (check for dryness and add more water if necessary after an hour), until a knife inserted in the center easily pierces noodles. | 13. Remove foil and sprinkle with the mozzarella, Parmesan and basil. Bake uncovered another 20 minutes, and then let stand a few minutes before cutting and serving. | 14. I have used fat free cheeses with good results. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
