EASY LASAGNA II

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat brown the ground beef. Drain the grease. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt and ground black pepper.
• To assemble, in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish evenly spread 3/4 cup of the sauce mixture. Cover with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles, 1 3/4 cup of the cheese mixture, and 1/4 cup sauce. Repeat layers once more: top with 3 noodles, remaining sauce, remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add 1/2 cup water to the edges of the pan. Cover with aluminum foil.

LASAGNA CAKE

Steps:

• Turn the pound cakes on their sides and thinly slice with a long serrated knife. You should get 4 or 5 lasagna noodle-size pieces from each cake.
• Make the sauce: Combine the berries and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a bowl and puree with an immersion blender until mostly smooth. Stir in the yellow food coloring.
• Whisk the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in the ricotta.
• Arrange a layer of cake in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, trimming the pieces to fit. Spread one-third of the berry mixture on top.
• Dollop some of the ricotta mixture on top.
• Gently spread the ricotta mixture, then continue to cover the whole cake (you should use about half of the mixture).
• Top with another layer of pound cake, then a layer each of berry sauce and ricotta and a final layer of pound cake. Spread with the remaining berry sauce.
• Microwave the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Spoon over the cake and gently spread.
• Broil until the white chocolate is golden in spots, or lightly brown the top with a kitchen torch. Top with mint.
