Ingredients

1 T olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped small

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 19.5 oz. pkg. Hot Turkey Italian Sausage

1 jar

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

2 cups cottage cheese

4 eggs, beaten well

1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Italian herb blend

1 tsp. garlic powder

4 Folios Parmesan Cheese Wraps

2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese

additional 1/3 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle over the top

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F/190C and spray a deep rectangular casserole dish with non-stick spray. Heat olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat and saute chopped onion just until it's starting to brown. Then push onion over to the side of the pan and crumble in the ground beef and Italian sausage, squeezing the sausage out of the casings. Cook the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking apart with the turner until it's nicely browned and all the released liquid has evaporated. Add the Rao's sauce to the meat mixture and simmer on low until the sauce is thick, about 10 minutes. While the sauce simmers, chop basil like I did if you have them!) Stir the chopped basil into the sauce and turn off the heat. Mix the cottage cheese or ricotta, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan if using, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Cut the Folios in half and cover the bottom of the dish, putting the straight edge along the edge of the dish. Spread half the meat sauce over the Folios. Then make a layer with half the cottage cheese mixture, followed by half the Mozzarella. Make another layer each of Folios, meat sauce, cottage cheese mixture, and Mozzarella. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the top if using. Bake Low-Carb No-Noodle Lasagna with Sausage and Basil for 40-45 minutes. Serve hot. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated later.
