"Based on an old recipe from the 50's called American Lasagne, this uses simple ingredients that were available in any market. You can use swiss, provolone, or mozzarella cheese. Leave out the mushrooms if you don't like them."

In large deep skillet or dutch oven, brown beef, onions, and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with some of the salt and pepper. When almost totally browned, add garlic, cook until fragrant.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and cover with cold water; set aside.
Stir egg into cottage cheese, set aside. Grate or slice cheese, set aside.
Prepare 9” X 13” baking dish with non-stick spray. Spoon some of the oil from the sauce into the bottom of the pan.
Alternate layers of 3 noodles, then 1/3 of cheeses, and then 1/3 of meat sauce. If using 10 noodles, place the extra one in the center layer. Top last layer with grated parmesan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned on top. If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil and continue baking until done. Allow to cool 15 minutes before cutting.
