Quick Lasagna

"This is an easy meal to put together on those nights when you don't have very much time. Garlic bread and salad go wonderful with it."
-Michelle Lane

Ingredients:
1 clove garlic (makes it very garlicky, so we only use half)
1/2 lb ground beef
1 tsp Italian seasoning
6 purchased pre-cooked/oven ready lasagna noodles (7x3 inches)
1 (12 oz) container cottage cheese
1 C mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 T Parmesan cheese, grated
1 C spaghetti sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and chop garlic. Cook beef and garlic in a skillet over medium heat, stir occasionally, until brown.
Stir Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce with beef. Spread 1/4 cup beef mixture in an ungreased square pan.
Top with 2 noodles, make sure they don't overlap or touch the sides of the pan. Spread 1/2 C of remaining beef mixture over noodles.
Spread 1/2 C of cottage cheese over beef mixture. Sprinkle with about 1/3 C mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layering twice more.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10 minutes longer until it bubbles around the edges. Let stand 10 minutes to make it easier to serve. Enjoy!!
