Tip: To drain spinach, place defrosted spinach in the middle of a kitchen towel. Fold towel over and wring from both sides over kitchen sink to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

- Mix drained spinach with egg whites.
- Cook lasagna noodles, drain and rinse.
- Distribute 1 ½ cups of tomato sauce evenly on the bottom of a very large lasagna pan. Next layer half of the lasagna noodles, followed by half of the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and spinach mixture. Put another 1 ½ cups of tomato sauce on top. Continue layering with the remaining lasagna noodles, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover pan with foil. Bake for approximately 1 hour. Remove foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve with remaining 1 ½ cups of tomato sauce.
