Ingredients
  • 1 pkg frozen meatballs, cooked (microwaved or baked)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 3 tsp)
  • 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes with basil, oregano, and garlic, undrained
  • 1 24-oz. jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
  • ⅔ cup condensed cream of onion soup*
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1¼ cups cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning, plus extra to sprinkle on top
  • ½ tsp fennel
  • 9-10 no-cook lasagna noodles
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute garlic, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and tomato sauce. Add meatballs and toss to coat. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the soup, eggs, cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, and fennel.
  3. Return 1 cup meatball sauce to the skillet; spread evenly. Layer with 1 cup cottage cheese mixture, 1-1/2 cups meatball sauce and half of the noodles, breaking to fit. Repeat layers of cottage cheese mixture, meatball sauce and noodles. Top with remaining meat sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-17 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  4. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses; cover and let stand for 2 minutes or until melted. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning to taste.
Notes
*Cream of Onion soup can be hard to find. I found some at a Wal-Mart, but the one closest to me didn't have it. It might be good to call and check before going. We bought three cans when we went so we'd have enough for next time we make this.

The meatball sauce doesn't spread as easily as regular meat sauce, but do the best you can to place the meatballs evenly throughout.
