Recipe
In a skillet, saute the vegetables and garlic in oil until crisp-tender. Remove from the heat; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, whisk the flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in spinach. Set 1 cup aside.
In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella and Swiss.
Spread 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Layer with four noodles, half of the cheese mixture and vegetables and 3/4 cup spinach mixture. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining noodles, reserved spinach mixture and remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
