Ingredients

For Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 pound ground meat (beef, venison, elk, turkey, chicken, etc.)
  • 1 small yellow onion, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes, drained
  • 12 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon mineral salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

For Creamy Mixture

  • 16 ounces small curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon mineral salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon

Topping Ingredients

  • 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • dried or chopped parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Dreamfields pasta according to directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9- by 13-inch glass or ceramic dish by lightly greasing it with coconut oil cooking spray; set aside.
  • Mix the ground meat, sausage, and onions together in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the meats have browned, add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute. Mix in the remaining meat mixture ingredients and cook just until heated. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the creamy mixture ingredients.
  • Place a layer of "noodles" in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Spread out all of the creamy mixture on top these "noodles."
  • Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese atop the creamy mixture.
  • Place another layer of "noodles" atop the mozzarella.
  • Spread all of the meat mixture over these "noodles."
  • Pop in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle on remaining mozzarella and optional garnish parsley.
  • Return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into 12 squares with a serrated knife.

Notes

Since Dreamfields pasta has a special coating that makes most of its carbs non-digestible, each serving has a total 5 carbs in spite what the nutrition facts say.
