Another good part of this recipe is that you can do the basic preparation in advance and do the baking part whenever needed. So why wait, let’s get into the recipe.
It has been a long time, I’m waiting for posting this recipe. Whenever I get into the pasta isle in the grocery stores, lasagna sheets always impress me, I grab them as soon I see them. Ground meat stuffing makes a wholesome dinner, but today I wanted to make something light. This recipe is great whenever you feel to go with light dinner.
If you wish to cut down calories from this dish, reduce cheese quantity(Do you know I’m stressing the word ‘reduce’ here..? you cannot cut it down completely :). And also opt in for wheat or multi-grain pasta sheets.

In a small mixing bowl, add Cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg and dried thyme.
Combine them well, so than egg blends well the cheese and no lumps seen.
Cook Lasagna sheets as per the package instructions. Drain and spread in a tray.
Spread the egg mixture evenly over the lasagna sheets. Hint: If you wish spread marinara sauce over to the egg mixture layer.
Start rolling each sheet. The rolls neither too tight nor too loose. It has to be firm, and that’s the thumb rule.
Repeat the process for the remaining sheets as well. And keep them ready for the next process.
In a baking tray, spread marinara sauce for about quarter inch thickness. And place rolled lasagna sheets above it.
Arrange rolled sheets as per the capacity of the baking tray.
Pour remaining marinara sauce over the rolled sheets.
Cover it with aluminium foil and bake it for 350°F for about 30 minutes, in the preheated oven. 
Remove it from the oven, and sprinkle Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese over the lasagna rolls. And bake it uncovered for another 5 minutes or untill the cheese meltsdown. Increase the cheese quantity as much as you like. And there is no restriction for the level of cheese here :).
Serve immediately, with your favorite toppings like chopped basil leaves, Goat cheese, Parmesan cheese etc.
