2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Spray
1 (8-ounce) package precooked lasagna noodles
1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat mild cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

1.  Preheat oven to 350o
2.  Cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain; wipe drippings from pan with paper towels. Return beef to pan. Stir in pasta sauce and water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Combine cottage and Parmesan cheeses in a bowl.
