Cottage Cheese Lasagna Recipe for 10

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and no longer pink.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the marinara sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
4. Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella, parsley, and nutmeg. Stir until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
6. Spread ½ cup of the meat sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
7. Place 3-4 noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles, then top with 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce.
8. Repeat the noodle, cheese, and sauce layering process two more times.
9. Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
10. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
11. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown.
