1 egg
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 lasagna noodles (uncooked)

In large glass bowl, crumble ground beef. Heat 2 to 3 minutes on High until beef is browned, stirring once. Drain. Stir in spaghetti or tomato sauce.

Combine cottage cheese, egg and pepper. In oblong, glass baking dish, spoon 1/2 cup sauce. Alternately layer noodles, egg mixture, Mozzarella cheese and sauce, forming at least 2 layers. Heat, covered, 8 minutes on High power.
