Stir in mushrooms with liquid, tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and oregano. Simmer 15 mins. Combine egg with spinach, cottage and parmesan cheeses. Spread 1/3 of meat sauce in 13x9 in. baking dish.

Top with remaining sauce and pasta. Arange mozzarella cheese on top. Bake at 350F for 30 mins. Let stand 10 mins. before serving.
