Amazingly Easy Spinach Lasagna


"The cottage cheese with chives gives it that extra flavor, 
although this adds extra fat because it only comes in 4%.
I have also made it with plain low fat (1% or 2% )
 cottage cheese and it still tastes great."


2 cartons Deans Cottage Cheese w/ Chives
2 eggs
1 package frozen Spinach, defrosted and well drained
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
5 cloves garlic, shredded
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (low or no fat works well too)
coupla dashes onion powder
1/4 cup minced dried onions
coupla dashes garlic powder
coupla dashes sea salt

 - - - Mix all together (save a quarter of the cheese for top)

1 large jar sauce (I like Classico Basil or Garlic)
1 pkg no boil lasagna noodles 
1 10 x 10 baking pan (appx)

alternately layer the following:
sauce to cover bottom of pan
 lasagna noodles
sauce to cover noodles
 spinach cottage cheese mix

 lasagna noodles------------heres the middle

Cook 20 minutes in microwave.
Spoon out a part of the middle and test for heat - if still cold cook more.
Top with remaining mozzarella cheese
Cook 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted

You may be wondering how I know the exact details about a home-made recipe.

I took the information off all the labels, and what was not given I 
looked up on the internet at the "NUTRIENT DATA LABORATORY" located at:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp

If you want to look up items, just go there and click on "Search The Database".
Then type in your item and it will give you a list of choices.
For example if you type in "garlic" it will list Garlic Powder, "Garlic, raw"
and a host of popular items that have garlic in them, such as "Progresso Garlic
and Pasta, canned", "Pepperidge Farm Crusty Garlic Bread", etc.

I entered all the items in a spreadsheet (Excel), tallied them up and
divided by 4 (assuming you eat that large of a piece, I do. :)

So, anyway, that's how I did it, just incase you were interested.
