Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Cook lasagne noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, and sliced mushrooms.
4
Sauté vegetables until the onion is translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Add oregano, basil, rosemary, and chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
6
Allow the vegetable mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat.
7
In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the grated Mozzarella cheese.
8
Pour the vegetable mixture into the cheese bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined.
9
In an 8x13 inch baking pan, layer the cooked noodles alternately with the vegetable-cheese mixture, starting and ending with noodles if possible.
10
Top the final layer with the reserved Mozzarella cheese and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
11
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
12
Remove from oven and let the lasagne rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
