Classic Lasagna: Small Pan

4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups Parmesan, shredded
13 cups Basic Red Sauce (I use the small batch, doubling with a little extra)
24 lasagna noodles, uncooked
2 lbs ground beef (we mixed in turkey and sausage), cooked and drained (we also added in some peppers, onions and mushrooms)

Combine cottage cheese, eggs and 2 cups Parmesan in large bowl.
Now to make the lasagnas, layer as below. First spread a little sauce in each of 4 pans. We layered as directed, but didn't measure.
