Grandma Pat Wiley's AMAZING lasagna

A classic sunday favorite for all of us Wiley kids and adults alike...This Lasagna is to die for, and it was a great bday present to her grandaughter :) here it is straight from Grandma herself:

Noodles:

• Spray pan with Pam for easy cleanup
• I choose to use big shells but you can layer wide noodles if you prefer.

Cook the noodles--cool to handle

Sauce:

• 1 lb ground beef with salt and pepper for seasoning
• 1 lg. can diced tomatoes
• 2 cans tomato paste and 3 cans water
• Dried basil and garlic powder to taste (I use just a bit of both)

Brown meat, combine other ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Cheese Filling:

• 1 16oz container cottage cheese
• 3/4 c. grated parmesan Cheese
• 1/4 c. dried parsley flakes
• 4 eggs beaten
• salt and pepper

Mix together.

Layer into pan; Bake about 1 hour at 350*

- stuff shells or layers noodes and filling
