\nSo another thing conquered…homemade noodles! I made spinach noodles one time with my sister but she is the one who made them. So this time I used a recipe in my fantastic cookbook that I get a lot of recipes from (Country Cookbook Bridal Edition…thanks mom!)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen I used my creative juices and came up with this lasagna recipe all my own! Those are always some of my best \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nHomemade Noodles<\/b><\/div>\n
\n2 Cups flour<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 tsp salt<\/div>\n
\n3 eggs<\/div>\n
\n1 tbsp water<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nPut flour and salt in a bowl and make a well (scoop out middle). I suggest doing 1 1\/2 to 1 3\/4 cups flour because I thought it was too dry (maybe I’m wrong but I added another tbsp water)…adding flour while kneading is better than being too dry. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAdd eggs and water in the middle. Stir together.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nKnead the dough for about 10 minutes.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nRoll out..this took some elbow grease for me…again, I thought it was a little too dry? But it was fine \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen I just cut sheets that would cover the whole bottom of the pan for the lasagna. <\/div>\n

\nLasagna<\/b><\/p>\n

Tomato sauce (sauce recipe HERE<\/a> if you need one)
\n2 cups mozzarella cheese
\n1 small container of cottage cheese (or half of a large one)
\ncooked chicken breast chopped finely
\nlarge handful of spinach chopped to about 1\/2 cup
\nparmesan cheese<\/p>\n

Combine cottage cheese, 1 1\/2 cups mozzarella cheese (leave 1\/2 cup for topping each layer), parmesan cheese, and chopped spinach (I used fresh) in a bowl. You will use this to layer the lasagna.<\/p>\n

Layer the bottom of your pan with sauce then add a layer of homemade noodle (or store bought…I did not have to cook the homemade noodle first in water)<\/p>\n

Add another layer of sauce on the noodle, half of the chopped chicken, a layer of cottage cheese mix, and then sprinkle some of your mozzarella cheese on top.
\n–the cool thing about this is that I used leftover chicken from the night before when I made a rotisserie chicken, which was very moist…so another use for my leftovers!<\/p>\n

Repeat with 2 more layers but use all the chicken in the bottom layers and leave the top layer for your cheese mix and the rest of your mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n

Then cook at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

There you have a really homemade lasagna. ENJOY this marvelous lasagna! Abby even downed it and had 2 large helpings and Kyle really liked it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
