• Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes.
• Cook pasta according to package directions, rinse and set aside (I usually add a tsp of oil to the water so the pasta doesn’t stick to each other).
• In a 14 x 11½ x 2¼ baking dish, or two smaller size baking dishes, put a small amount of meat mixture in the bottom of dish. Spread around.
• Add lasagna noodles (approximately 5-6, and they will overlap onto each other).
• Next, spoon half of the cottage cheese on top of the pasta and spread covering the pasta.
• Spoon meat mixture on top of cottage cheese.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Next add ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat with another layer of pasta, cottage cheese, meat mixture, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese.
• Final layer is pasta, topped with remaining meat mixture and remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Cover with foil and cook for approximately 1 hour.
• Serve with salad and garlic bread.
