Vegetable Lasagna

I was a little unsure of this recipe.  I'm not a huge fan of most vegetables so I didn't know if I would like this one or not.  It looked amazing when I was making it.  You could add more vegetables if you would like.

Ingredients:
12 oz cottage cheese
1 egg; lightly beaten
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided 2/3 cup and 1/3 cup
2 3/4 c. red sauce (I made a homemade red sauce)
6 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 cups assorted vegetables in bite-size pieces (mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, onions, green and red pepper)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Mix cottage cheese, egg, and 2/3 cup Parmesan in a large bowl.
Spread 1/4 cup red sauce in the bottom of a 9x9 pan

Assemble in the order below:
Layer 1 -
2 uncooked noodles
3/4 red sauce
1/2 cup  vegetables
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Layer 2:
2 uncooked noodles
3/4 red sauce
1/2 cup  vegetables
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Layer 3:

To cook lasagna:

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
3. Remove plastic wrap and foil from baking dish and replace foil.  bake for 45 minutes if thawed.  1 hour if frozen.  Remove foil and continue baking until lasagna is bubbling and cheese is browned.
