Ingredients:

2 Tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef
23 oz pasta sauce
1 Tbs Italian Seasoning
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups mozzarella grated, divided
8 pieces lasagna noodles, each broken into 4 or 5

Preparation:

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute 5-6 mins until the onion is soft, add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Add the ground beef and cook for 4-5 mins until no longer pink.
Add the pasta sauce and Italian Seasoning and simmer, stirring occasionally around 5-6 mins.
Transfer 2/3 of the meat sauce to a bowl, leaving 1/3 the sauce in the skillet
Lay half the noodles over the sauce in the skillet, spoon half the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles, sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella, then repeat with sauce, noodles, cottage cheese,1/2 cup mozzarella and last 1/3 of the sauce.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the noodles are tender, 25 to 30 mins.
Remove from the oven, and let it rest a few minutes – broiling the top if desired.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Cut into it, and enjoy!
