Ok, so it takes a bit to make…but it’s totally fricking worth it.
16 ounces cottage cheese
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese, separated to 1/2 cup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound baby spinach
9 ‘no boil’ pasta sheets
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
4 cups Bolognese sauce
Preheat oven to 375
In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan, garlic powder, red pepper flakes & olive oil - mix well and set a side
Cook spinach in a large pan with a little oil until totally wilted - and when it’s cooled squeeze with your hands to get rid of any remaining moisture, then add to the cottage cheese mixture and stir in well
Build lasagna in a 9x12 baking dish like this: 1/3 of the Bolognese covering the bottom, 3 pasta sheets on top, 1/3 of the cottage cheese mix on top of that and the Mozzarella on top, then another layer of the Bolognese, pasta, cheese mix, and repeat once more
Top the final layer of cheese mix with a little of the Bolognese for color and sprinkle the rest of the parmesan on top
Cover with foil and bake for one hour, then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes uncovered
Let sit 15 minutes before serving
