Tomato Sauce
- In a nonstick frying pan, sauté the crushed garlic cloves for one minute or until light golden.

- Stir in the rest of the tomato sauce ingredients. Simmer for another 5 minutes. If needed, add a little bit of water for a creamy consistency.
Cheese Mixture For The Topping
- Blend the cheese and olive oil. Set Aside.
Creating The Lasagna

- Flatly place lasagna sheets on top of the sauce until it is covered. You may have to cut the sheets if they overlap.
- Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on top of the sheets.

- Add the second layer of lasagna sheets. Cover with sauce and 2/3 cup of cottage cheese.
