pound bacon
2 quarts water
Using slicer/shredder disc, slicing side up, slice potatoes. Remove to large mixing
bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside. Slice leeks. To clean leeks, place in a
colander and toss gently under running water. In a soup pot or Dutch oven, cook
bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Add the leeks to the bacon grease in
the pot. Cook and stir occasionally over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

1 pound mild Italian sausage

2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, peeled and
cut in eighths
1 rib celery, cut in 2-inch pieces

Using slicer/shredder disc, with slicing blade up, slice mozzarella and set aside.
Remove casings from sausage. In a large skillet or large, heavy saucepan over medium
high heat, cook and crumble sausage and ground beef. Using S-blade, with processor
running, drop garlic through food chute and mince. Stop processor. Add onion and
celery. Pulse until chopped then add to skillet. Cook until onion is soft. Place
cooked meats and vegetables in large bowl. Add spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce
and stir to mix. Using S-blade, process Parmesan cheese on High until finely grated,
about 20 seconds. Add parsley to the Parmesan and process until chopped. Add
cottage cheese, ricotta, and eggs and process until blended. In a 10 x 14-inch baking
dish or lasagna pan, layer meat sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and then mozzarella
slices. Repeat layers. (The lasagna can be refrigerated at this time.) Cover tightly

minutes more. Let sit 10 minutes before cutting to serve. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
