Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray (or lightly oil) and set aside.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain the pasta.
Heat the olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion; saut� 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saut� 1 minute. Then add the beef, breaking up with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink.
Drain off the excess liquid. Pour the tomato sauce into the pan. Pour the reserved pasta-cooking water into the can, swirl a bit, and pour into the pan. Simmer 5 minutes.
Season with black pepper. Taste and add a little salt if necessary.
While the sauce is cooking, combine the cottage cheese, basil, oregano, Parmesan and egg substitute.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan followed by all of the noodles. Spoon the cottage-cheese mixture over the noodles. Pour the sauce on top and sprinkle with the mixed Italian cheese. Bake on center oven rack 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
