I had about 3/4 cup of cottage cheese left in my fridge for a while and I dint want to test its patience anymore from not going yellow, so was thinking of what to do with it and googled for something simple and quick for dinner. I chanced upon this recipe for Lasagna which used Cottage cheese. Its hard  for me to stick to a recipe verbatim. Do you have this problem too? So made some changes to incorporate my needs – High Protein, Less Fat, Healthy But Simple and Fast! And the following is what I ended up making.

Method

1.Cook the Pasta shells in large pot, so that they dont stick to each other. Cook only for about 10min till slightly soft since it would cook more in the Oven.Drain.

2.In a skillet, cook the onions and garlic in 1 tsp of Olive oil and then add the marinara sauce.

Add seasoning and the salt/pepper if needed. bring to a boil.

3.Mix the 4 cheeses along with cilantro/parsley.

4.Spray non stick oil spray in a shallow baking pan and ladle some of the sauce at the bottom. Now pipe the cheese mixture into the jumbo shells one by one and place in the pan. Once done, pour rest of the marinara on top.

5.Bake at 350F for about 15-20min and serve hot.
