Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 3 tsp jarred minced garlic)
2 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano, divided
1 tsp dried parsley
1 jar spaghetti sauce (or 1 recipe homemade spaghetti/marinara sauce)
1 egg
1 (16 oz) container low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
9 lasagna noodles, cooked
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (or your blend choice), divided
Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 375º.
Brown meat with garlic and 1 -1/2 tsp oregano in large saucepan. Stir in spaghetti sauce; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. In a separate bowl blend (optional, because my people don't like chunks) the cottage cheese, egg, remaining oregano, parsley and Parmesan cheese until well blended.
Spread 1/2 c meat sauce onto bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with layers of 3 noodles, half the cottage cheese mixture, 1/2 c mozza cheese and 1 cup sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and sauce; cover.
Bake 30 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining mozza cheese; bake, uncovered, 5 minutes or until melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
You can eliminate the step of adding the cheese at the end if you want and just add it before you put it in the oven, just spray the aluminum foil with cooking spray and then remove it for the last 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
