1 pound sweet italian sausage or bulk pork sausage
1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups 4% cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes (I use fresh...)
9 uncooked lasagna noodles (don't need to precook!)
3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1. In a large skillet, cook sausage (remove casings if any) over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, parmesan and parsley.
2. Spread 1/2 cup meat suace into a greased 9x13" baking dish. Layer with three noodles and a third of the cheese mixture, meat sauce and the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice.
3. Cover and bake at 375* for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until the noodles are tender. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
