Ingredients
1 lb Ground chicken or turkey sausage
1 medium Onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons Minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
24 oz Marinara sauce
1 1/4 cups Low sodium chicken broth
10 Lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 cups Cottage cheese, blended until smooth
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Brown the sausage and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a soft boil.
Add the broken lasagna noodle pieces into the sauce, pushing them down until submerged.
Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low, simmering for 12-15 minutes or until the noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the smooth cottage cheese and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and the grated parmesan, cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Use a high-quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. If the sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add an extra splash of chicken broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
