In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse, keeping separate before layering so noodles don't stick together.

Lay half the noodles in the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping by 1/2-inch. Spread half the cottage cheese mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and Cheddar evenly over the cheese mixture. Pour half the meat sauce on top. Repeat layering in same order. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan on top. Bake in center of oven 30 to 35 minutes until sauce is bubbling around the edges. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
