Lazy Day Lasagna

1 carton cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1/3 cup parsley
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/8 tsp. pepper
32 oz. spaghetti sauce
1 pound ground beef/turkey/sausage
9 lasagna noodles, uncooked
3/4 cup. water

In large bowl, mix cheeses, eggs, parsley, onion powder, basil and pepper until well blended; set aside. In medium bowl, mix together spaghetti sauce and cooked meat. In 9x13 baking dish, spread 3/4 cup meat sauce. Layer 3 uncooked noodles and top with meat sauce. Spread with 1/2 of cottage cheese mixture and 1 1/2 cup meat sauce. Layer 3 more noodles on top of meat sauce. Spread with remaining cottage cheese mixture. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining meat sauce. Pour water around edges.

Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil for freezing. To serve, thaw and bake covered (don't forget to remove the plastic wrap) at 375 for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before eating. To bake from frozen stage, add 30 minutes to total baking time.

**This is my tried-and-true lasagna recipe. I love it because you don't have to cook the noodles. I usually make several of these at a time and keep the rest in the freezer. I have quite a large collection of baking dishes that I have accumulated here and there from yard sales and thrift stores. I have made up to six of these at once. It's so easy to grab it out of the freezer, throw it in the oven and have a really good dinner on the table.
