Here's my version of a classic recipe:
Ingredients:
3 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 cup part-skim container ricotta cheese
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 cups marinara-style meatless pasta sauce
9 no-boil lasagna noodles
12 oz fresh baby spinach leaves
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions:
1. Wash spinach & pat dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat oven to 375? F.
3. Combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, egg, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese and garlic, chopped parsley and red and black pepper. Set aside.
3. In a 9x13 inch baking dish pour 3/4 cup marinara sauce. Place 3 pieces of no-boil lasagna on the sauce, covering with another 1/2 cup of the sauce.
4. Layer with half of the spinach, then a layer spreading half of the cheese mixture over the spinach.
5. Repeat layers. Finish with 3 more lasagna strips and cover with remaining sauce.
6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for one hour. Uncover and top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese during last 15 minutes of baking.

Serving Suggestion:
I like my pasta served in the Italian way, meatless w/ meat served separately on the side. Hot Italian turkey sausauge, with peppers & onions goes great with this dish.
If u want 2 make a meat dish out of it, one way is to use a meat sauce in place of the marinara sauce.
