Spinach Lasagna (Meatless)

This is another Kraft recipe.  They are so easy, I love them!  My husband came home last night and I had just pulled this out of the oven and he looked at my son and said "Have I ever told you how much I love spinach lasagna?"  I had to ask him if he was being sarcastic or is he really did love it.  His answer?  He really does love it  :)  (Happy wife moment...)


Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 (16 oz) container of cottage cheese
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 jars spaghetti sauce (Kraft calls for 1, but I always need 2)
9 cooked lasagna noodles

Directions:
*Heat oven to 350*F

*Mix eggs in a large bowl.  Now add the cottage cheese, spinach, 2 cups of your mozzarella, 1/4 cup of Parmesan, and the rest of the bottle of spaghetti sauce to the eggs.  Mix well.

*Lay 2 paper towels on your counter.  Now pull 3 of your cooked lasagna noodles out of the water and lay them on the paper towels.  Take another paper towel and wipe them off.  (This is a Krista step, not a Kraft one.  It makes your lasagna less watery at the end).

*Layer 1 - 1 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of your sprayed with cooking spray 13x9 pan.  Put enough spaghetti sauce to put a thin layer on the bottom.

*On top of the spaghetti sauce, layer 3 noodles to cover the bottom on the dish.  Now put half of your spinach mixture on top of the noodles.  Spread out the spinach mixture so that it is an even layer.



*Now put 3 more noodles on top, with the rest of the spinach mixture.  Spread out the mixture.

*Put your last layer of noodles on top of the spinach mixture.  Pour as much of the second bottle of spaghetti sauce on top of the noodles as you would like.  Put the remaining shredded cheese, and then the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.



*Bake uncovered in your oven for 45 minutes.
