TO
PREPARE:
Beat
the eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, ricotta
cheese and Italian seasoning. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium
heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Sauté until
tender. Stir in the flour and pepper. Add the milk. Cook
until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute
longer. Remove from heat. Stir in the spinach, carrot, 1/2
cup of the Parmesan cheese and salt.
Layer
one-third of the spinach mixture and one-third of the noodles in a greased
9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the cottage cheese mixture, the remaining
spinach mixture, mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese and remaining noodles
one-half at a time over the layers. Spread the marinara sauce over
the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until heated through.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Note:
You may assemble the lasagna, cover with foil and chill for up to 48 hours
before baking. To freeze, wrap the unbaked lasagna tightly with foil.
Freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, bake, covered, at 350 degrees
for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 35 to 40 minutes longer or until
hot and bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
