Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups small curd cottage cheese
2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
4 cups marinara sauce
13 oven ready lasagna noodles
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
fresh parsley or basil, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder and onion powder.
Spread 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish. Lay 3 noodles longways on top of the sauce. Spread ½ of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on top of the cheese mixture.
Add 5 more noodles on top of the first layer. Spread the remaining cheese mixture over the noodles. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on top.
Add the last layer of 5 noodles and spread 1 more cup of sauce on top, ensuring the noodles are completely covered.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and uncover. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until all of the cheese is melted and begins to turn golden brown.
Top with chopped fresh parsley or basil and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Reheat in the oven or microwave. Cheese lasagna can be frozen in freezer safe storage containers for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
