Four-cheese lasagna


1 lb. extra lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)
1 onion, chopped
1 pkg. (8oz.) Philadelphia Neufchatel cheese, softened  (I used fat free)
1 cup 2% Milk fat low fat cottage cheese
1/2 grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 pkg. (8oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beatened
1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes, drained 
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
12 lasagna noodles, cooked ( I used whole wheat noodles)

Heat oven to 350. Brown meat with onions in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan and egg until well blended. Drain meat, return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomatoes and oregano; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Spoon 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of baking dish; top with layers of lasagna noodles, 1 cup cheese mixture and 1 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan; cover with foil.
Bake 50 minutes or until heated through, uncover after 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting to serve.
