Spinach Lasagna

This is a recipe that my Mom made when I was growing up. I always loved when we had this dish. This is called a lasagna, but there aren't any noodles in it, it's nice because it makes a smaller pan. It's still one of my favorites!-Sarah

3 T. minced onion
1/4 t. garlic powder
24 oz. spaghetti sauce
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

1 egg
1/4 t. pepper
3 T. dry breadcrumbs
