Preheat oven to 350
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the lasagna noodles (you can break into 2- inch pieces if desired- a bit easier to cut/serve this way) and cook until al dente (about 10 minutes). Strain and transfer into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Start preparing the meat sauce
In a large deep skillet, cook the ground beef or sausage, and garlic & other seasonings (mince Italian seasoning)over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat and return to the pan.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta or cottage cheese, slightly beaten egg, Italian seasoning and some salt and pepper to taste. Set aside
Once the sauce is done add heavy whipping cream to sauce to make it creamy, pour it into the bowl with the prepared pasta and mix it together. Then stir in 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of parmesan cheese.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Lightly spray a 13×18-inch (half sheet) sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour all the lasagna mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
Dollop the ricotta/cottage cheese mixture all over the top of the lasagna.
Then top with the remaining grated mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.
