- 8 lasagna noodles
- 1.5 - 2 pounds ground beef, chicken, pork, or turkey
- 16 ounces cottage cheese
- 26 ounces spaghetti sauce from jar or homemade
- 2 cups shredded mozzerella cheese
- 1 bunch spinach or kale chopped into small pieces (optional)
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add the lasagna noodles. Continue to cook until the noodles until just soft. Do not overcook.
Meanwhile, brown the meat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Once the meat is fully cooked, now is the time to add the spinach or kale if you are using it. Cook about 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Add cottage cheese and spaghetti sauce to meat and mix well.
Assemble the lasagna: Place 4 noodles on bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Spread half the meat mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle on half of the mozzarella. Repeat layers one more time.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes until nice and bubbly.
