Steps:
- Put the noodles on to boil, if using that type. the non-boil work too.
- Prepare sauc: Melt butter in pan. add chopped onion and garlic. saute for 3-5 minutes, add beef. cook until beef is browned. add tomato sauce and broth. simmer for a while, like 15-20 minutes. then let it rest while you do the next steps.
- prepare cheese sauce: combine egg, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, parmesean cheese and chives. Use your hands for most efficient mixing. season to taste with salt and pepper.
- if your mozzarella is in a ball, very thinly slice it. if grated its fine as is.
- begin assembly: start with a tiny bit of tomato sauce in the bottom of your 9X13 inch pan. then layer on 3 noodles, then one third of the cheese sauce, approximately one third of the tomato sauce, then a thin layer of mozzarella. again: noodles, cheese sauce, tomato sauce, mozzarella. Again: noodles, cheese sauce, mozzarella, then tomato sauce on top. you can sprinkle some mozzarella on top but if you make it a layer of mozzarella it will make a skin that is tough to pierce when cutting.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for one hour. it should be heated through and bubbling on the sides when done. let cool 15 minutes before devouring.
