Noodles:

Meat sauce:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ lb bulk Italian sausage
  • ¾ cup onions, chopped
  • 1 (28 oz) can Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried basil leaves
  • ½ tsp dried oregano leaves
  • ½ tsp sugar

  • 1 (8 oz) container cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 (16 oz) bag shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine ground beef, sausage, and onions; cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes or until beef and sausage are thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Add all remaining meat sauce ingredients; mix well.
