While the vegetables are baking, in a large bow mix together the cottage cheese and 1 CUP of mozzarella cheese.
Once the vegetables are finished (do not turn the oven off!), start the?lasagna?building process:
Smear 3/4 cup of marinara on the bottom of an 8x8 pan.
Place two Oven Ready noodles down side by side.
Top the noodles with about 2 cups of roasted vegetables or enough for an even layer.
Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the roasted vegetables.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of spinach on top of the cottage cheese.
Finish this layer by placing two more noodles in the?opposite?direction of the first two noodle you started with. (This will?provide?more structure to the lasagna when cutting).
Repeat with the roasted?vegetables?two complete the second layer.
Once you have finished the second layer by placing two more noodles down, finish the lasagna with another 3/4 cup of marinara and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
