Easy Cottage Cheese Lasagna for 267 calories

Has anyone tried that new Friendship Probiotic Cottage Cheese? It's absolutely delicious, and healthy! Well, my normal supermarket was out of it, so I bought three other brands of non-probiotic cottage cheese. I hated them all straight, so I ended up with three unused containers of cottage cheese. So, I figured if life hands you cottage cheese, make lasagna! :-) I put together this lasagna last night, and it ended up really delicious!

Forgive the below picture - it was taken today, when the lasagna was leftover and cold.
