1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb italian sausage
1 jar (26 oz) pasta sauce
1 cup water
6 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into 2 inch pieces (you can always add more of these too)
1 container cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dried parsley leaves
1 egg
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend

Brown the Italian sausage and ground beef and drain. Stir in pasta sauce, water, and uncooked noodles. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until pasta is almost tender.

In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, and the egg. Spread over the pasta mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the cottage cheese mixture has set and the pasta is tender.
