    Recipe



    1.Pour both jars of salsa into a large non-aluminum saucepan. Add
    pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce the
    heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce is reduced
    to 4 cups, about 10 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to package
    directions and drain well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly
    coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
    Combine noodles, the cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, and chiles; mix
    well and set aside.

    3.Arrange half the cooled lasagna noodles in the bottom of the
    prepared baking dish. Spread half the cottage cheese mixture over the
    pasta then half the cooked chicken, then half the salsa mixture

    4. Sprinkle half the shredded cheeses on top. Repeat the layering
    steps, ending with the shredded cheeses. Bake, covered, until bubblv
    and heated through, about 45-50 minutes. Let stand uncovered for 10
    minutes before cutting.

    You can freeze this fully assembled and reheat by cooking for 1 hour
    at 350 (thaw it in the microwave or overnight first). This is
    magnificent!

    serves 8-12
