adapted from: Gray Cardigan
8 oz. ziti or rigatoni, cooked and drained
8 oz. Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 c. cottage cheese
1 jar (approx. 24 oz.) spaghetti sauce or homemade
salt and pepper (if using store-bought sauce)
1 tsp. italian seasoning (if using store-bought sauce)
1/2 Lb. ground beef, cooked (if using store-bought sauce)
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (reserving a little Mozzarella for topping) and mix well. Pour into a greased 8x8 casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through and sauce is bubbly. Serves 4-5.
Jenn's Notes: If you use my homemade sauce that already has the meat and all the seasonings in it, I would use around 2 1/2 - 3 cups. It will just depend on how saucy you like your pasta.
