¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar
12 ounces cottage cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
9 lasagna noodles
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until brown. Drain. In another skillet over medium heat, cook onion until translucent. Combine beef and onion in a large saucepan with tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, water, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and sugar. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour.
While sauce is simmering, blend cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg until smooth. Set aside.
