Step 1

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is browned and crumbly, taking about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and stir in the spaghetti sauce. Simmer it for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, eggs, 1/2 of grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, then spread 1 3/4 cups of the cheese mixture and 1/4 cup of sauce on top of the noodles. Repeat these layers one more time. Finish by placing the remaining 3 noodles on top, then spread the remaining sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese on top of the noodles. Pour 1/2 cup of water around the edges of the dish. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Bake it for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before serving.
