  1. In a big skillet, layer ingredients in the following order:
    1. First, add the cooked and drained ground meat. Sprinkle one small package of dry spaghetti mix over the meat.
    2. Next, add the pint carton of small curd cottage cheese, followed by the 3 cups of dry wide noodles.
    3. Sprinkle the second small package of spaghetti mix over the noodles.
    4. Pour the 3 cups of canned tomatoes with their juice over these layers, and finally, add 1 cup of water.
    5. Gently poke holes through the layers so liquid gets to the bottom and prevents the meat from scorching.
  2. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of parsley flakes and 1 tablespoon of sweet basil over the top of the assembled layers.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  4. Cook for 35 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Cover the entire top of the lasagna with the big package of grated Jack or Mozzarella cheese.
  6. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
