1 lb Lean ground beef
1 ea Onion, finely chopped
1 ea Clove of garlic, minced
1 cn Sliced mushrooms(10 oz/284ml
1 cn Tomato spaghetti sauce(14oz)
1 cn Tomato paste(5-1/2oz/156ml)
1 t Salt
1 t Dried oregano
1 ea Egg, beaten
1 c Creamed cottage cheese
1/3 c Grated parmesan cheese
1 pk Sliced mozzarella cheese
1 pk Spinach, thawed,chopped

Cook lasagna in a large quantity of boiling water
until just barely tender; drain off most of water; add
ice cubes to stop cooking. (Allow lasagna to stand in
cold water to prevent pasta sticking together.) In a
saucepan, brown meat with onion and garlic; drain off
fat. Cook over low heat, covered, for about 5 min.
Stir in mushrooms with liquid, tomato sauce, tomato
paste, salt and oregano. Simmer 15 mins. Combine egg
with spinach, cottage and parmesan cheeses. Spread 1/3
of meat sauce in 13x9 in. baking dish. Cover 1/4 of
lasagna (about 5 overlapping strips.) Alternate
another 1/3 of sauce and 1/4 of lasagna. Spread
spinach mixture over pasta and cover with 1/4 lasagna
strips. Top with remaining sauce and pasta. Arange
mozzarella cheese on top. Bake at 350F for 30 mins.
Let stand 10 mins. before serving.
