In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cottage cheese, onion, and parsley; set aside. In a large saucepan, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, over medium heat, and add the ground beef, stirring now and then until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off all liquid and discard. Stir in the tomato paste,, tomato sauce, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325-f degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and begin layering as follows: one-third of the meat sauce, one-half of the noodles, and one-half of the sour cream mixture. Repeat these layers, ending with the meat sauce. Garnish with cheddar cheese and cover with foil. (I lightly spray my foil with cooking spray so the cheese doesn't stick.)
Bake covered for 1 hour or until the casserole is bubbly. Allow to stand for 15 minutes, then serve.
