Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of the dish.

Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese layer.

Step 12

Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.

Step 13

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of meat sauce.

Step 14

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
