Place the oven rack in the centre position. Turn the oven on to 375ºF (190ºC). Put the first 3 ingredients into the bowl. Stir well.

Grease the pie plate with the cooking spray. Spread the second amount of pasta sauce in the pie plate.

To assemble the lasagne, spread or layer ingredients in the pie plate as follows:
a) 1 tortilla
b) 3/4 cup (175 mL) cottage cheese mixture
c) 1/3 cup (75 mL) mozzarella cheese

Repeat steps a), b) and c) until all the ingredients are used—remember, you will have extra mozzarella to use on the top layer. Put the pie plate on the baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown. Remove the lasagne to the wire rack. Let stand for 10 minutes. Turn the oven off. Serves 6.
