Dunk each matzo sheet for 30 seconds, just until softened.5 Step 5: Place a layer of matzo over the sauce, breaking pieces to fit. Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture evenly on top.

Top with 1 cup of tomato sauce and another 1/3 of the mozzarella.7 Step 7: Place the last layer of matzo on top. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce, ensuring all the matzo is coated.
