Drain off all excess fat. Once brown, add tomato sauce, basil, oregano and pepper to beef. Mix well. Reduce heat and bring all to a gentle simmer to combine flavors. In a small bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese and parsley, set aside. Slice block of mozzarella into thin slices. Assemble lasagne in a 9x13 pan starting with 3 noodles across bottom, then half of the cottage cheese/egg mixture, half of the mozzarella cheese, then half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Bake prepared lasagne in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. Once baking is complete, allow to set at room temperature for 10 o 15 minutes to solidify layers. Cut into 12 pieces and serve.
