Spinach Lasagna

I tried this recipe with my family today and they loved it!

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups lowfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (I didn't use fresh)
1/4 cup grated Parmeasan cheese (again, not fresh)
2 tsp minced garlic
3 cups marinara-style pasta sauce (I just used Hunt's spaghetti sauce)
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 cans spinach, well drained (I used a 10 oz box of frozen spinach)
1/2 tps black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Baking time: 1 hr. 15 min.

Combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, chopped parsley and pepper. Set aside.

In a 9x13 in baking sidh, pour 3/4 cup marinara sauce. Place 3 uncooked lasagne noodles on the sauce, covering with another 1/2 cups of the sauce.

Layer with half of the spinach, then a layer spreading half of the cheese mixture over the spinach. Repeat layers of noodles, sauce, spinach and cheese, finishing with 3 more lasagne noodles. Cover with remaining sauce.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for one hour. Uncover and top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese during last 15 minutes of baking.
