9 or 10 dried lasagna noodles (I think I actually used 14 or 15)

1 15-oz carton ricotta cheese
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, crushed
2 c sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/4 c milk

Spread with one-third of the cottage cheese mixture, then one-third of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c Parmesan.
