~ INSTRUCTIONS ~
Dice all the veggies to be roughly the same size, and mince the garlic and onion, keeping them separate from the other veggies.
Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (~204 C).
Add the sauce ingredients to a pot and set to low heat to simmer covered.
Brown and cook the meat (with salt) in a pan on medium heat, adding in the garlic and onion to cook as the meat finishes. Add to the sauce, mix, and recover the pot.
Starting with the mushrooms to let them release moisture, add the veggies to the pan and cook until slightly softened. Transfer to the sauce, mix, and turn off the heat, leaving the pot covered.
Whisk or blend the cottage cheese and cornstarch together, and whisk in the other cheese mix ingredients.
Mix what’s left of the shredded cheeses and set aside.
Set an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet under a glass 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish.
Build the lasagna (three layers of sauce and cheese mix, two layers of noodle, and one top layer of shredded cheese). Start with the sauce and cheese mix (about a third of each per layer), followed by noodles, then more sauce and cheese mix, then noodles, then the last of the sauce and cheese mix, and finally the cheese topping.
Lightly cover the lasagna with foil, tenting it to prevent cheese stickage, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
After the 30 minutes, remove the foil cover and continue baking at the same temperature for 15 more minutes.
Turn the oven up to 450 degrees F (230 C) and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the top of the lasagna is to your liking.
Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
