An alternative way to make the process quicker that we normally use:
We spread Ragu sauce on the bottom of the pan, on top of that oven-ready lasagna noodles, then a cottage cheese mixture which has spinach, mozzarella and eggs, and minced garlic (you can get a jar of minced garlic at Wal*Mart) then a shredded chicken/matchstick carrots/Ragu mixture on top of that, then noodles, and so on until the pan is full.

We eat this lasagna a lot in our family. Everyone loves it, and it's really yummy!

Enjoy! :)
