Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp pepper
8 oz uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups (16 oz) fat-free cottage cheese
1-1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
topping:
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

In a nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Add cottage cheese.
In a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray, layer 1 cup meat sauce, a third of the macaroni mixture and a third of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining meat sauce.
Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over sauce. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
