What You Need

3/4
lb. extra-lean ground beef
3
cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2
tsp. dried oregano leaves
1
jar  (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1
large tomato, chopped
1
 egg
1
container (16 oz.) BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN 2% Milkfat Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4
cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
9
 lasagna noodles, cooked
1
pkg. (7 oz.) KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided

Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

BROWN meat with garlic and oregano in large saucepan. Stir in spaghetti sauce; simmer 5 min., stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes. Mix egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan until well blended.

SPREAD 1/2 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with layers of 3 noodles, half the cottage cheese mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1 cup sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and sauce; cover.

BAKE 30 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining mozzarella; bake, uncovered, 5 min. or until melted. Let stand 5 min. before serving.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation
Substitute 2 cups frozen BOCA Ground Crumbles for the browned ground beef. Add to spaghetti sauce in saucepan along with the garlic and oregano; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. Continue as directed.
Makeover - How We Did It
We've made over a traditional lasagna that results in a savings of 140 calories and 10g of fat per serving by using extra-lean ground beef instead of sausage and decreasing the amount, using cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese, decreasing the Parmesan and using KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
Make Ahead
Assemble lasagna as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 375°F for 40 min. or until heated through.
