    7. Spread on 1/2 the spinach, sprinkle with 3 Tbsp. cheese, and add 1/2 the sausage. Cover with a few more Tablespoons white sauce, layer more noodles, add rest of spinach, some cheese, and rest of meat. Spread on a final layer of white sauce, cover with cottage cheese, and finish with a layer of noodles. Spoon tomato sauce over casserole, completely covering the lasagne. Sprinkle with rest of cheese on top. Bake in upper third of oven, about 30 minutes, until cheese is browned and lasagne is bubbly.
