Quick "lasagna"

If you're craving lasagna but are short on time or need a gluten-free alternative, this quick lasagna recipe is perfect for you. Combining classic flavors with the convenience of pasta, it offers a delicious and satisfying meal that can be prepared in no time.

Ingredients:

16 oz gluten-free pasta
450g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup onion
40g
1 tsp garlic
2.80g
1 lb ground beef (80/20%)
450g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
220g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
10g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Meat Sauce:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until it is browned all over, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, meat sauce, low-fat cottage cheese, and 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
4. Bake:
- Transfer the pasta mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dish is heated through.
5. Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your Quick Gluten-Free Lasagna!

Tips:

- Use high-quality gluten-free pasta.: Ensure you use a reputable brand of gluten-free pasta to achieve the best texture and flavor.

- Season the beef well.: Don't be afraid to add extra seasoning like oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning to enhance the flavors.

- Don't overcook the pasta.: Cook the pasta just until al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the other ingredients.

- Drain excess fat from the ground beef.: To keep the dish from becoming too greasy, drain any excess fat after browning the ground beef.

- Combine ingredients thoroughly.: Mix the pasta, beef, and cheeses well to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

- Customize with vegetables.: Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
