Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions.  Get out a heavy skillet, add the Italian sausage, cook on medium heat for approximately 10-minutes or until the meat is brown.  Spoon off as much fat as you can.  Add the garlic, basil, thyme, green onions, parsley, spinach, and eggs, simmer for about 15 minutes.  Add the seafood seasoning, pepper, lemon juice, butter, flour, tomato paste, whipping cream, clam juice, shrimp, and crab meat, mix well. Cook for about 20-minutes or until the sauce is smooth. We are now going to layer the lasagna.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Put half of the noodles in the baking dish.  Spread half of the Parmesan and cottage cheese and the sauce on top of the noodles. Repeat until all the ingredients are in the pan.  The last ingredient is the slices of mozzarella cheese.  Bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
