It was a beautiful little festival... hopefully an annual tradition.

Old Fashioned Lasagna

1 lb ground beef
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 tbsp. basil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups of tomatoes
2 cans of tomato paste
lasagna noodles (I used whole wheat)

2 cartons of large curd cottage cheese
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 lb mozzarella cheese

Brown meat slowly; add next six ingredients to meat. Simmer uncovered about 1/2 hour. Cook lasagna noodles according to cooking instructions. For lasagna- combine cottage cheese with next five ingredients. Place 1/2 noodles in 13x9x2 baking dish; spread 1/2 cheese mixture over noodles, add 1/2 mozzarella cheese and 1/2 meat mixture. Repeat layers. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
