I lost my favorite recipe from a cookbook my grandmother gave me. I know the cookbook was Better Homes and Gardens, most likely published in the 1960's as a souvenir edition. The specific recipe was for lasagna on page 166. Does anyone else have the same recipe?
*the BEST ricotta is from Calabro. Hard to find...but it s not remotely like the ricotta your grocer sell. That stuff is grainy. Calabro is not only richer, but velvety smooth. Makes a huge difference in the final product. wow. this vintage recipe is GREAT! Thank you all. I m going to try fresh mozza instead (the real gooey white stuff. you can find it sliced at Restaurant Depot! Bon Appetit all!
I lost this recipie to. I kept it ting it in the same place because the cookbook is the first edition that I misplaced it when I moved. :( Because I ve made this so much with my mother I know there s a couple of errors in the recipe above1st after the browning of meat you add the next 7 indregients to simmer this adds the tomato paste. Then the mixing of the whole cottage cheese mixture is missing so if you are making this for the first time here it is: In a separate bowl mix : Cottage cheese Eggs Next dose of salt Pepper Parsley Grated Parmesan cheese That s your cottage cheese mixture. :) I didn t type as much as the original post and it s a lot of typing on your iPad sans keyboard! Thank you original post!!!!! Otherwise I d be lost on the measurements.

Well, it's page 182 in my mother's old BHG cookbook. I can't tell you what year it's from other than the 50s or 60s because the first few pages are gone and the binder is held together with carton sealing tape! But some of these recipes are the same as in my edition from 1982 and some are totally different so I've kept both books. Lasagne (notice how it's spelled with an e at the end!) 1 pound Italian sausage, bulk pork sausage or ground beef 1 clove garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley 1 Tablespoon basil 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1-pound can (2 cups) tomatoes 2 6-ounce cans (1 1/3 cups) tomato paste 10 ounces lasagne or wide noodles 2 12-ounce cartons (3 cups) large-curd cream-style cottage cheese 2 beaten eggs 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 pound Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin Brown meat slowly; spoon off excess fat. Add next 6 ingredients to meat. Simmer, uncovered, till thick, 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cook noodles in boiling, salted water till tender; drain; rinse in cold water. Combine cottage cheese and next 5 ingredients. Place half the noodles in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; spread half the cottage cheese mixture over; add half the Mozzarella cheese and half the meat mixture. Repeat layers. Bake in moderate oven (375 F) 30 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before cutting in squares. Makes 12 servings. I sure hope this is what you were looking for after all this typing! Enjoy your lasagna!
