Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons cumin
6 tomatillos, halved
2 ripe tomatoes, quartered
1 jalapeno, deseeded
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups black beans, cooked or canned
2 avocados, scooped from their shells and roughly chopped
2 1/2 (+/-) cups mozzarella
12 ounces cottage cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 packet lasagna noodles
lemon wedges

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook entire box of lasagna noodles for 8-ish minutes in boiling water. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water so they stop cooking.
2
While the noodles are cooking, preheat the over to 375 degrees. Pour olive oil in skillet and saute the chopped onions for about 5 minutes over medium heat, or until translucent.
3
Meanwhile, add halved tomatillos, quartered tomatoes, seeded jalapeno, and a generous pinch of salt in the bowl of your food processor. Turn on the low setting and mix until the ingredients are the texture of salsa.
4
Add garlic and cumin to the skillet with the onions and cook for a couple minutes more. Add tomato-tomatillo sauce and black beans to the onions and garlic. Stir and reduce heat to simmer.
5
Mix cottage cheese, avocado chunks, one lightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley.
6
Now, it's time to assemble the lasagna! Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Ladle about a cup of sauce in the bottom of the pan and distribute evenly. Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top. Cover noodles with about a cup of sauce. Cover sauce with about 1/2 cup of avocado-cottage cheese mixture, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with a handful of mozzarella.
7
Layer 3 noodles on top of mozz and repeat--sauce, cottage cheese-avocado, shredded cheese--three more times, ending with noodles. Reserve a little extra sauce to spread over the noodles and top with copious amounts of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley.
8
Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Take foil off of pan and bake 5 more minutes, or long enough for the cheese on top to melt and bubble.
9
Serve warm with a squirt of lemon juice.
