4 Cheese Broccoli Lasagna
1 package lasagna
15 oz ricotta cheese
1½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup Swiss cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 Tbsp basil leaves
½ lb ground beef
2 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut small
4 cups tomato sauce (I use homemade from the garden)
In large bowl combine ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, Swiss cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs and basil leaves; mix well. Add broccoli florets and stir well.
Saute ground beef, onion and garlic until brown. Drain if necessary. Add two cups of tomato sauce and stir well. Remove from heat.
Cook lasagna according to package directions and drain.
Start with a layer of sauce on the bottom of a well greased lasagna pan. Put a layer of noodles, then ricotta/broccoli mixture, top with sauce; layer three times with final topping being sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired. Bake 350ยบ for one hour; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
