Place half the noodles in 13x9x2-inch baking dish; spread with half the cottage-cheese filling; add half the Mozzarella cheese and half the meat sauce. Repeat layers.
Bake* at 375° about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting in squares-filling will s t slightly. Makes 12 servings.

Notes

I use ground beef in place of the Italian sausage.
It is just as good with the cottage cheese as it is with ricotta
