Ingredients
    1 pound lean ground beef
    1 onion, chopped
    2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
    1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    2 cups water
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon white sugar
    12 ounces cottage cheese
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 egg
    9 lasagna noodles
    1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
Preparation
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until brown. Drain. In another skillet over medium heat, cook onion until translucent. Combine beef and onion in a large saucepan with tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, water, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and sugar. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour.
    While sauce is simmering, blend cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg until smooth. Set aside.
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Spread 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover sauce with 3 noodles. Cover noodles with one-third of remaining sauce. Top with half the mozzarella. Place another layer of noodles and one of sauce over the mozzarella; top that with the cottage cheese mixture. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining sauce.
    Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top and bake 15 minutes more, until golden and bubbly.
