Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out a baking dish large enough to hold three layers of noodles.
Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Garlic and Baby Spinach; cook, stirring, until the spinach wilts and excess liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Let cool briefly.
Step 3. Mix the spinach with Cottage Cheese, Eggs, half the Salt, and Black Pepper. In another bowl, stir Tomato Sauce, Water, Oregano, and the rest of the Salt together.

Cook

Step 4. Spread a little sauce in the dish. Layer Lasagna Noodles, half the spinach mixture, sauce, and Mozzarella; repeat. Finish with noodles, sauce, and mozzarella, covering every noodle edge with sauce.
Step 5. Cover tightly with foil and bake until bubbling and the noodles are nearly tender when pierced, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese browns in spots and the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes more.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Let the lasagna rest until the layers settle, about 10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve.
