World`s Best Lasagna

Ingredients
1 lb of extra lean ground beef
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 large can 680ml tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp basil
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 cup of Marsala Wine
Shredded mozzarella cheese (at least 500 g, maybe more)
1 medium container of cottage cheese
1 egg

Directions

In a pot with olive oil brown together the ground beef with finely chopped onion and garlic.  Break the beef into a fine mince.

Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, spices, and wine to the pot and simmer uncovered for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water for 8 minutes or until al dente (never use oven ready noodle... ever).

Once noodles and sauce has cooled slightly it is time to assemble your lasagna.  While doing this you can preheat your over to 350 F.  Shred you mozzarella cheese, or use fresh mozzarella (cheese is subjective, use whatever makes you happy).  Beat 1 egg into your container of cottage cheese.  Assemble your lasagna in a 9 X 13 pan or baking dish in the following way.  Meat sauce, lasagna noodles, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese.  Reapet until all ingredients have been used. 

 Make sure to reserve some sauce for the top of the lasagna so the cheese does not burn in the oven.  Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 30 minutes.  Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
