- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, stemmed
- ½ cup sliced fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1½ cups small-curd cottage cheese

Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and carrot; cook until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in spinach, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and garlic salt.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread 1 cup tomato mixture in bottom of pan. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce; do not overlap. Spread 1 cup cheese mixture over noodles. Arrange one-third of zucchini and squash slices in a single layer over cheese mixture. Spread 1½ cups vegetable mixture over squash, and top with 6 slices provolone cheese and 1½ cups mozzarella. Add 3 more lasagna noodles. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with mozzarella.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
