Prepare Meat Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add olive oil. Saute the finely chopped onion until it’s soft and translucent. Then, increase the heat to high and add the lean ground beef (or mushrooms for a vegetarian option). Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta sauce and cook until the sauce is heated through. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat.
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a large glass mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, and black pepper to taste. Microwave this mixture on high for about 2 minutes, or until it’s very hot. Let it stand for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble Lasagna Bowl: Place the cooked pasta in a prewarmed shallow serving bowl. Top the pasta with the prepared meat sauce, ensuring to leave a border of pasta visible around the edges. Then, layer the hot cheese mixture over the meat sauce, leaving another border of sauce visible.
