Last minute Lasagna

This is a dish I threw together last night when we were pressed for time and had little in the fridge. I'm sure I will never make it exactly the same way again (like I said, it was with what we had) but it turned out so well I decided to write it down. You can use this as a template and play around with the recipe.


I boiled 6 lasagna noodles. Meanwhile I created a tomato sauce starting with a jar of really good store-bought sauce and then adding some frozen spinach, chopped up fresh cherry tomatoes, and chopped-up olives. I got out a casserole pan (mine was as long as one lasagna and wide enough to fit three noodles side by side) and layered:

1/3 of the sauce
cottage cheese
noodles
1/3 of the sauce
noodles
1/3 of the sauce sauce
grated cheese

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes on 350.
