Lasagna -
The following is what I got from my mom. But here's another one.

Don't pre-boil the noodles, but make it advance so that it can soak the noodles overnight.
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb Italian sausage
white onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can whole tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano
a touch of salt and sugar
1 cup and a half cottage cheese
1 beaten egg
grated parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese
In a large skillet or saucepan, sauté the onion. Then add the ground beef, sausage, and garlic to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until browned. Drain the fat if you want. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, basil, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. After adding the tomatoes, the sauce mixture should simmer for 45 minutes. Finally mix in a little sugar.
In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, beaten eggs, grated Parmesan, 1 more tablespoon parsley, and 1 more teaspoon salt. Stir together well. Set aside.
To arrange, pour a little pasta sauce (mom recommends TJ's marinara sauce) on the bottom of the glass dish. Then start layering noodles. Put sauce on top and top with cheese mixture and mozzarella. Then repeat. Don't finish with cheese - wait until the next day for that.
Leave to sit overnight in the fridge.
When ready to bake, bake at 350 until bubbly (maybe 25-30 minutes). Add the last layer of cheese in the last minutes to get brown on top.
