  1. Cook noodles in boiling water. Drain and rinse in
  cold water. Set aside. Combine water, onion and garlic
  in a 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe bowl.
  
  2. Microwave (high), uncovered, 3-3 1/2 minutes or
  until tender, stirring once. Stir in tomato sauce and
  paste, water, bouillon, sugar, basil, oregano and
  pepper. Cover with plastic wrap.
  
  3. Microwave (high) 8-9 minutes or until mixture boils
  several minutes, stirring once. Set aside.

  quart microwave bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.

  Chop coarsely. Stir in cottage cheese and eggs.
  
  6. To assemble, layer half the noodles in a 12x8"

  mozzarella cheese, half the spinach mixture, rest of
  the noodles, rest of the spinach, rest of cheese, rest
  of sauce. Cover with waxed paper.

  center (150-160 degrees). Remove waxed paper. Sprinkle
  with Parmesan cheese.

  cheese is melted. Let stand 5-10 minutes before

  Last time I made this, I used prepared spaghetti
  sauce. Works just fine. I used about 2 1/2 cups.
