• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine the ground beef, sausage, garlic, and onion. Season to taste.
• Cook over medium/high heat until browned then drain the excess grease and dump into a saucepan.
• Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and seasonings to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for 45 minutes while you are working on the other steps.
• When the water comes to a boil, add the noodles, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 Tbsp olive oil to the water. Cook the noodles until "al dente" then drain.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning, and 1 tsp salt. Set aside.

Assembly:

• If baking immediately, preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 10x15 baking dish.
• Spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom of the pan.
• Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
• Spoon half the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles & spread evenly.
• Cover with Mozzarella cheese.
• Spoon a little less than half the meat/sauce mixture over the top.
• Repeat the layers then cover the top generously with Mozzarella cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. *Remove the foil 10 minutes before it's finished baking.
