- Brown ground beef; drain fat. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, parsley, basil, oregano, water, basil, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to meat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Cook lasagna noodles 8-10 minutes in salted water with 1 tablespoon oil added.
- Combine cottage cheese, eggs, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper.
- In a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish, place 4 noodles, 1/2 cottage cheese mixture, mozzarella cheese, meat sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Repeat layering one more time.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 - 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
