Ingredients

12 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, thyme and pepper
1 cup 1% cottage cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute the onion, celery and garlic in oil until softened. Add the mushrooms; cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar and seasonings; simmer for 10 minutes. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, parsley and salt.
Drain noodles. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with 4 noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture, half of the spinach, a third of the remaining sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining noodles, sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer. Let lasagna stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
