Combine riccota/cottage cheese with beaten eggs.
Spread a tiny amt. of veggie sauce mixture on bottom, just to moisten noodles; then using half the ingredients, layer: noodles (edges slightly overlapping), cottage/ricotta cheese mixture, spinach (spread leaves out as much as possible), grated white cheese, and sauce.
Repeat for second layer with other half of ingredients.
