  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 cup water, 2 (24 ounce) jars of tomato sauce, 6 ounces tomato paste, 2 beef bouillon cubes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 15 ounces creamed cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup sour cream.
  7. Spread 1/2 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  8. Layer with 4 lasagna noodles.
  9. Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
