Hip Hip Hooray! It's Noodle Day!

In honor of National Noodle Day I decided to make lasagna! It's actually Pasta Week too so I killed two birds with one stone. Lazy Lasagna

Using precooked or pre-shredded products makes throwing together this lasagna a snap!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground round
• 1 26-ounce jar low-fat spaghetti sauce
• 1 16-ounce carton fat-free cottage cheese
• 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• Cooking Spray
• 1 8-ounce package precooked lasagna noodles
• 1 cup (4-ounces) pre-shredded reduced-fat mild cheddar cheese
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook meat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well, and return to pan. Add sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Combine cottage and Parmesan cheeses in a bowl; set aside.

Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture in bottom of a 13x9 -inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 4 noodles over meat mixture; top with half of cottage cheese mixture, 1 cup meat mixture, and 1/3 cup cheddar cheese. Repeat layer, ending with noodles. Spread remaining meat mixture over noodles. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, and bake 5 more minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garish with parsley, if desired.
