   I really need better photo taking skills...

What you need: 
1lb. ground beef 
1 can Hunts traditional spaghetti sauce 
1 can diced tomatoes 
1/2 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 carrot finely shredded 
1 heaping cup spinach, chopped 
1 tbs cracked black pepper

1/2 tbs dried basil
1 tbs dried parsley 
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 15oz container ricotta cheese 
1 egg 
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 
10 Lasagna noodles 
 
How to: 
Add a little olive oil to large skillet heated to medium 
- Add onion cook for about 2 minutes 
- Start water boiling for noodles 
- Lay out tin foil for when noodles are half way cooked. You want them to still need some cooking. Put on foil to keep from sticking to each other. 
Add ground beef and garlic, brown meat
- While meat is browning put ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, egg and 1/2 of parsley in a bowl and mix together
- Add garlic salt, pepper, basil, and parsley to meat as it finishes browning 
- Pour in to meat, tomatoes not drained and can of sauce. Mix all together. 
- Mix in carrot and spinach to meat and sauce mixture. Take off heat and put to the side. 
Layering time: 
1/3 of sauce 
4 noodles over lapping edges 
1/3 of Cheese mixture 
1/3 of Sauce 
3 noodles 
Repeat meat and cheese and 3 noodle layer (you want 3 layers ending with sauce on top) 
Top with the mozzarella cheese   

Cover with tin foil bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, uncover and bake another 15-20 minutes. Let sit 10-15 minutes. 
Makes 12+ servings   
 
My brothers, nephew, dad, husband, sons and I all really liked it and non of the kids noticed the veggies his in there ;-)
