Description

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1½ lbs. lean ground pork
• 1 egg
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 2½ cups tomato sauce/marinara
• 8 cremini mushrooms, sliced
• ½ yellow onions, diced
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup chopped parsley
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 8 oz. mozzarella

Directions

• First, preheat your oven to 375 F.
• Now, slice the sweet potatoes very thin, approx. ⅛ - 1/16 of an inch. (You can either use a mandolin or a sharp knife.) The more uniform the better so they cook evenly.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the egg and and finely chopped italian parsley. Mix well and then set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the lean ground pork, dried oregano, dried thyme, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cook this until it becomes well-browned, which should take 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Once the meat is well-browned, remove it from the pan and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat from the pork. If you have more than that, you can discard the rest.
• Add diced yellow onion and cook it over medium-high heat until it starts to become tender.
• Then, add in the cremini mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms start to become tender.
• Add in minced garlic and cook for one more minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Return the cooked pork and add the tomato sauce into the pan and stir to combine. Once this is heated through, remove from the heat.
• To assemble the lasagna, use a 9x16 casserole dish and create the first layer with the sweet potato slices. Make sure to overlap each slice to create an even layer.
• Pour out half the meat sauce over the sweet potato slices and spread out evenly.
• Pour out half of the cottage cheese mixture over the meat sauce and spread evenly. (It’s okay if it doesn’t look perfect - it will still be super tasty.)
• Repeat these three steps with another layer of sweet potato slices, meat sauce, and then the cottage cheese.
• Top with a thin layer of sliced fresh mozzarella and then cover with tin foil.
• Place in the oven bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potato slices are almost fully tender.
