Heat margarine in 2 qt. saucepan over low heat until melted; add garlic. Stir in flour and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in milk and broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in mozzarella cheese, 1/2 C. parmessan cheese, the onion, basil, oregano, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mozzarella cheese is melted.
Spread 1/4 of the cheese sauce (about 1 1/2 C.) in ungreased rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2, top with 3 or 4 uncooked noodles, overlapping if necessary. Spread half of the cottage cheese over noodles. Repeat with 1/4 of the cheese sauce, 3 or 4 noodles and remaining cottage cheese. Top with chicken, spinach, 1/4 of the cheese sauce, the remaining noodles and the remaining cheese sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 C. parmessan cheese. Cook uncovered in 350 oven until noodles are done, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Makes about 12 servings, except in my house it only feeds 5, my family love this recipe.
