Instructions: Cook pasta until done, drain, and place in a mixing bowl. Add dash of oregano to pasta and stir. Spray a nonfat cooking spray on your casserole dish. Crush your garlic and stir into your tomato sauce.

Add sauce, veggies and cottage cheese to pasta and stir gently. Pour pasta into casserole dish. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over pasta. Spoon diced tomatoes over pasta and cheese, forming a layer of tomatoes. (Use most of the liquid with the tomatoes, too.) Sprinkle remaining cheese over tomatoes, place lid on dish (or foil) and bake for 45 minutes at 350.

I actually made this ahead, refrigerated it and baked it the next day.

If you try this, rinse pasta in cold water to cool it before draining and combining with other ingredients.

Serves two generously, with a
bit of leftovers for lunch the next day!
