Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Spoon off excess fat.

Add minced garlic, whole basil, salt, tomatoes, and tomato paste to the skillet.

Simmer the sauce uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce.

Layer lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Spread a layer of cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.

Top with slices of Mozzarella cheese.

Repeat layers of sauce, noodles, cottage cheese mixture, and Mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of Mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
