Steps:

• In a large frying pan, fry up the ground beef and onions together until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent.

• Lay another 3 noodles on top. Spread out another 1/3 of the sauce on top of the noodles. Spread the last of the cottage cheese mixture on top, followed by a cup of mixed cheese.
• Lay the last 3 noodles on top, followed by the last 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Sprinkle with another 2-3 cups of the mixed cheese. ( I like a seriously good layer of cheese on top!)
• Cover and bake in 350 °F oven for 45-50 minutes. If you like, remove the cover and bake the cheese on top for another 5-10 minutes to get it slightly crispy around the edges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, and onion in a large, deep sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat, breaking apart the meat with a spatula, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat off the pan, then stir in garlic, pasta sauce, oregano, pepper, and salt. Heat through then reduce heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a fat pinch of salt and swirl of oil (this helps keep the noodles from sticking.) Add the noodles to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain noodles then lay them out on aluminum foil so they'll be ready to go later.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spread a very scant layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan. Top with 4 noodles laid lengthwise in the pan. Spread half the cheese on top followed by 4 more noodles. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the noodles. Spread all of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the sauce, followed by 3 more noodles. Finish with the remaining sauce and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
