3. Mix together in a bowl cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 8 oz package of shredded mozzarella.

Repeat layers starting with the lasagna noodles, then place 3 lasagna noodles on the top.
5. Pour spaghetti sauce over lasagna, then top off with 8 oz shredded mozzarella.
6. Cover and bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
