Step by Step guide
Step 1
Blend canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and 2/3 of the basil with olive oil in a blender, but do not make it a smooth puree; leave some chunks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Grate the Adyghe cheese on a coarse grater, mix it with cottage cheese and eggs.
Step 3
Chop the mint, remove the seeds from the chili pepper if you don't like it too spicy; if you do, chop everything together and mix it with the cheese-cottage cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into two parts.
Step 5
Slice the mozzarella into thin rounds.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 356°F.
Step 7
Pour a couple of ladles of tomato sauce onto a medium-sized baking tray, layer three sheets of lasagna, then spread one part of the cheese-cottage cheese mixture, add some mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Pour a ladle of tomato sauce over it, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Next, place the following three sheets of lasagna on top, again distribute the cheese mixture, mozzarella, Parmesan, and tomato sauce.
Step 9
Cover with the last three sheets, pour the remaining sauce over, crumble the mozzarella, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Step 10
Bake on the middle rack for 20-30 minutes; at the very end, you can place it under the broiler for about five minutes.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining basil.
