Spinach Lasagna

8 oz. cooked lasagna noodles (I use 9 of the regular sized lasagna noodles.. not the wide extra wide kind)
16 oz. cottage cheese
2 c. spinach leaves (shredded)  I pack them in there!
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder  (I use 3-4 cloves minced fresh garlic)
salt and pepper to taste

1 jar spaghetti sauce (I use hunts spaghetti sauce.)
2 c. mozzarella cheese
The recipe calls for a 9x13 pan.  I use an 8x12ish.  If you use a 9x13 pan, I would cook 3 more noodles and add one to each layer. 
Combine spinach, cottage cheese, eggs, garlic and salt and pepper
Layer as follows:
1/2 c. spaghetti sauce
3 noodles (4 if using a bigger pan)
1/2 spinach mixture
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
 

1/2 c. spaghetti sauce
 3 noodles (4 if using a bigger pan)
1/2 spinach mixture
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
 

1/2 c. spaghetti sauce
 3 noodles (4 if using a bigger pan)
remaining spaghetti sauce
remaining mozzarella cheese

*I like to add some Parmesan cheese when I'm feeling fancy. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes
