Casserole Italian
1 lb soy burger
1 ts basil
2 c noodles (measure uncooked)
1/3 c water
1 ts oregano
1 pk (8-oz) shredded mozzarella
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 ts sugar
1 med onion; chopped
1 1/2 ts salt
1/4 ts pepper
Brown soy burger and onion. Add sauce, spices, sugar, salt, and water. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain. In a "lasagna" sized casserole, layer the drained noodles and the sauce mixture, beginning and ending with the sauce. Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 375 degrees (covered) for 45 minutes. Uncover, and bake for 10 minutes more. Optional center layer: Mix together 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Spread this over the first layer of sauce noodles, and then continue layering. This optional center layer will make this casserole taste just like lasagna.
