Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° In a saucepan, cook pasta to molto al dente (slightly undercooked) consistency. I boiled mine for 3 mins at a rolling boil. You want it real firm but not crunchy. Drain and return to pot. Stir in marinara, water and cottage cheese (or substitute) until mixed well. Spread mixture evenly into a 9x13 baking dish and cover with mozzarella (or substitute) Bake uncovered at 375° for 30 mins
