Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 (32 ounce) cans spaghetti sauce or 1 (32 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon diced garlic
1 lb fat-free cottage cheese or 1 lb low fat cottage cheese
8 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese
12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
1 eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup water
8 -10 uncooked lasagna noodles
Directions:
Brown the beef and garlic in a skillet.
Drain.
Add spaghetti sauce; heat on low.
While meat sauce is heating, mix the cottage cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, egg, and 1/2 cup of the parmesan.
Spread 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
Put a layer of noodles over the sauce, so that none overlap.
If you have to break a noodle to fill in gaps over 1/2 inch, that’s okay.
Put a layer of cheese mix over the noodles.
Add about 1/2 of the remaining meat sauce; spread over cheese.
Repeat layers.
End with cheese on top; put remaining parmesan on top of the other chesse.
Pour 1 cup of water around inside edges of the pan, and cover with foil.
**Bake in a 350 oven for 1 hour, then uncover and bake 15 minutes more.
Take from oven and let cool about 10 minutes before serving.
Can be refrigerated up to 48 hours at this point.
