Matzah Lasagna with Mushrooms and Onions

1. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet and saute onions, garlic, and mushrooms until softened and lightly browned. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C.
2. Spread a light layer of tomato sauce across the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
3.  Break matzahs into long strips that resemble the shape of lasagna noodles and soak them briefly in milk, just long enough to lightly moisten them. Lay a couple of pieces over the sauce in the baking dish.
4. Mix the cottage cheese, half the mozzarella, and the egg in small bowl. Spread a thin layer over the matzah pieces, then cover that with about half the vegetables. Repeat: sauce, matzah, cheese, vegetables.
5. If you have extra sauce or cheese at this point, use that to top the vegetables. If not, just top them with the remaining mozzarella and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
6. Bake lasagna, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, uncover, and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes. Serve hot.
