Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Preheat oven to 350°F.
2	In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the beef, onions and garlic. When the beef is fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes, pour in the tomatoes. Continue to cook over medium heat until boiling, then lower the heat and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes, then uncover and add the parsley, salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer another 10 minutes.
3	Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips and lay on a paper towel to absorb some of the water. In a blender, puree the cottage cheese until smooth, approximately 5-7 seconds on high. Lightly coat a deep oven safe dish with the olive oil.
4	Lay the zucchini strips at the bottom of the dish, cover with the meat sauce, then the cottage cheese. Continue to add layers in the same order until the zucchini is gone. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven.
5	Bake 15 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10 minutes. Before serving, let the dish stand and cool at least 5 minutes.
