Easy Lasagna

This is such an easy and yummy lasagna! I really like that you don't have to cook the noodles before you bake it. I always add extra mozzarella and sauce.

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg, beaten
2½ cups Mozzarella cheese, divided
1 container (15oz) cottage cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 jar (26oz) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
12 lasagna noodles, uncooked

Preheat oven to 350. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix egg, 1 ¼ cups of the mozzarella cheese, the cottage cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, and the parsley until well blended; set aside.

Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Add water to the empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture; stir until well blended. Spread one cup of the sauce onto the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 the cheese mixture and 1 cup of the sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining three noodles and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1 ¼ cups Mozzarella cheese and remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Cover with greased foil.

Bake 45 min. Remove foil; bake an additional 15 min. or until heated through. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve. Serves 12.
