Preheat the oven to 375°F for 10 minutes. Coat a small individual baking dish with cooking spray. Bring a pot of water to a boil with half the salt.
Cook the lasagna noodles in the boiling water for 8 minutes until pliable but still firm. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, stir together the black beans, spinach, cottage cheese, egg white, garlic, Italian seasoning, the rest of the salt, and the pepper.
Spread a spoonful of marinara in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with one noodle, half the bean mixture, and more marinara. Repeat the layers, finishing with the last noodle and the remaining marinara.
Top with the mozzarella and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes more until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling. Done when set and bubbling, 160°F.
Let the lasagna sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
