Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb whole wheat penne
1 1/2 cups low fat cottage cheese
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (15 oz) can low-sodium crushed tomatoes
1 (8 oz) can low-sodium tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp chili flakes
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
cooking spray
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (3/4 oz, grated )

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella and parsley in a bowl and stir with a fork to incorporate and set aside. Cook pasta until tender but still firm, a minute or 2 less than the package directs. Drain.
Heat the oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, rosemary, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Return pasta to pot with sauce and turn off heat. Add cottage cheese mixture.
Spray a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray then transfer pasta mixture to pan. Top with remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella and the parmesan. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, 30 minutes.
