Spoon 1/4 of sauce into bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan. Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of sauce. Do not overlap noodles. Spread 1/3 of cottage cheese mixture over noodles, top with 1/4 of sauce and 1/3 mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with sauce, reserving 1/3 of mozzarella cheese.
Bake 45 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

This was a hit in the station, Even though I did screw up and put all the cheese on top before sliding it in the oven. The guys were very impressed with this. There was a very full and happy engine crew that night!

This is a GREAT recipe. The 9x13 pan yielded 8 large slices of lasagna. I did substitute ground turkey and italian turkey sausage for the beef/sausage mixture. And I used out favorite non-fat cottage cheese. Turned out yummy for our Valentine's dinner.. Will definitely make again!!
**After making this a few times, I make a little extra cheese mixture by using the entire 16oz container of cottage cheese, the entire 8oz package of cheese and add an extra egg. Works great! I also bought a Rachel Ray lasagna pan and no longer experience the overflow in the oven, fantastic!

Definatly delicious I also used ricotta instead of cottage cheese but either way i bet it will be amazing, i like a little zip to my food so i used a good bit of red pepper flakes and i found it difficult to make the cheese mixture strech couldnt hurt to make some extra!!
