Delicous, Not-very hard Lasagna ~ from Jaci

I know, homemade lasagna sounds hard, but it really just takes a few steps without a lot of interruptions.  I've made it a few times recently and LOVE IT, as do my kids and hubby....Here goes....

Preheat oven to 375.

1 box whole wheat lasagna noodles (I don't know why they put so many in there, there are always 2 leftover when I make it.)
1 jar marinara sauce (my new favorite is Rinaldi sweet and tasty tomato)
1 pound ground beef, cooked with 1-2 cloves garlic
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese (buying it pre-shredded saves a lot of time)
---------------------------------------------------------
Mix:
1 large carton cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1-2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
----------------------------------------------------------
Directions:
1 - Cook the pasta until it is mostly done, but not so done it falls apart.  Drain.
2 - While the pasta is cooking, brown the hamburger and mix up the cheeses, eggs, and spices
3 - Pour just enough sauce to cover the bottom of a 9x13 in. pan
4 - Mix the meat and and the rest of the sauce
5 - Now, layer some noodles on (use 3 or 4 and overlap a bit), spread 1/2 the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles, then 1/2 the meat and sauce mixture, 1/2 the mozzarella, then repeat with the rest of the noodles, cottage cheese, meat sauce, mozzarella. 
6 - Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 30 minutes, or until heated through.  Remove from oven and allow to sit for a few minutes to firm up.  Serves 6-8.  YUM!
