10 oz lasagna noodles
3 cups cottage cheese
2 eggs beaten
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbs parsley
3 cups at least of Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Brown ground beef in oil, drain and add garlic,parsley,basil, salt, tomatoes, tomato paste. Simmer up to one hou. Mix cottage cheese, eggs, parsley and parmesan.

Layer 1/2 the noodles, 1/2 the cottage cheese, 1/2 mozzarella, 1/2 of the meat, rest of the noodles, cottage cheese, meat then mozzarella.

My recipes are few and far between lately! I am sorry! I have been pretty busy taking care of my new little one and my other children! It has been fun! But I have still been cooking all this time. This recipe is one I intend to make for Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow- it is a big day at our house for my husband and my son! Lots of football! Thanks to the songberries blog for this great recipe! Enjoy! (the link to the blog is at the bottom of the recipe!)
