Into cool rice stir egg, cottage cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan . Brown ground beef, add onion and cook until tender. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings; cover and simmer 30 minutes. Combine mozerella and swiss cheeses. Spoon 1/2 rice mixture onto bottom of 9x13 pan. Cover with half the cheese mixture. Spoon meat over the cheese. Repeat layers.

Use 2 cups rice for a large crowd or 3 cups to stuff shells. When I do this, I add another egg to rice and increase the cottage cheese to 1/2 cup.
