Mix completely, but carefully, so as not to damage the cottage cheese. Shred about ¼ pound crab meat in a bowl using forks to separate it.

Dab in full tablespoons of ricotta and cottage mix, about 3 - 4 down each side, and then spread between them to create a fairly thick layer. Layer with mozzarella and small amount of parmesan cheeses. Place 1/3 of the remaining crab meat across the layers. Repeat until you have 3 layers thick. Top off with sauce. Place in pre-heated oven at 170c (350f) for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove lasagna, spread top layer with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and then the final layer of crab meat that was shredded at the start. Place in oven an additional 10 minutes. If cheese hasn't started to brown, return for an additional 5 - 10 minutes. Increase heat by 20c if necessary.
