Easy Lasagna

I know this recipe came from mom. I'm not sure where she got it from but it must be good since the recipe on the box of noodles I had last night was almost exactly the same one! This version is straight from the recipe card from my home-ec recipe box from high school but I tweak it some by adding about a cup of frozen chopped spinach to the cheese mixture, a LOT of garlic, and using ground turkey or Italian sausage instead of ground beef. Oh and mushrooms, lots of mushrooms at Paul's request. It has never turned out bad. Also great for freezing and makes great leftovers.

Easy Lasagna
1 lb ground beef
32oz jar spaghetti sauce
chopped onion
1 1/2 cups water
8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles
15 oz cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
12 oz mozzarella cheese
2 eggs (beaten)
1/4 cup parsley flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Brown beef & onion. Drain fat. Add sauce & water; simmer 10 minutes. Mix all other ingredients except noodles. In a 9x13 inch pan, layer one cup sauce, one layer lasagne noodles, 1 cup sauce and 1/2 of cheese mixture. Repeat, ending with a layer of noodles and sauce. Bake covered at 350 for 55-60 minutes. Remove foil & bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
