Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in meat and begin to brown. Add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon oregano and brown fully. Turn off heat and drain off any excess grease on meat and return to skillet. Add in spaghetti sauce and 1 cup of water and mix well.

Brush a 9x13 pan with olive oil.
Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan.
Lay 4 noodles down. Top with 1/2 the cottage cheese mixture, followed by 1 cup meat sauce. Lay 4 more noodles down and spread with the remaining cottage cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup sauce and 4 more noodles. Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles and top with mozzarella cheese, and additional ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 15 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes or so, before slicing.
