Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup spaghetti sauce
- 6 purchased precooked or oven-ready lasagna noodles (each about 7 × 3 inches)
- 1 (12 ounce) container reduced-fat cottage cheese (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 400º.
- 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic.

Cook the beef and garlic in the skillet over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is brown; drain.
- 4
Stir the Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce into the beef.
- 5
Spread 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in the ungreased square pan.
- 6
Top with 2 noodles, placing them so they do not overlap or touch the sides of the pan because they will expand as they bake.
- 7
Spread about 1/2 cup of the remaining beef mixture over the noodles.
- 8
Spread about 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese over the beef mixture. Sprinkle with about 1/3 cup of the Mozzarella cheese.

Repeat layering twice more, beginning with 2 more noodles and following directions in steps 3 and 4.
- 10
Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
- 11
Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes.
- 12
Carefully remove the foil, and continue baking about 10 minutes longer or until lasagna is bubbly around the edges and looks very hot.
- 13
Let stand 10 minutes, so the lasagna will become easier to cut and serve.
