    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

    In medium mixing bowl, beat eggs; add cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Spray a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

    Put one layer of slightly cooked lasagna noodles flat across the bottom of the baking dish. Add half the leaf spinach, pressing down lightly and evenly over noodles. Top with another layer of lasagna noodles. Top this layer of noodles with the cottage cheese mixture, add the remaining spinach. Then add the last of the lasagna noodles laid evenly on top of spinach. Spread pasta sauce evenly over the top; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Press down lightly.

    Make a foil tent, using foil sprayed with cooking spray and keeping foil off the center of the lasagna.

    Secure sides tightly over baking dish.

    Bake about 1 hour, 15 minutes in oven. To lightly brown the top, remove foil for a few minutes at the end of baking time.

    Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Cut in 10 pieces (for dinner serve with a green salad and perhaps a slice of bread and a very light dessert).
