Ingredients
6 oz Barilla Whole Grain Penne1.5 cup fat free cottage cheese0.5 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)1 egg1 small/medium onion finely chopped0.25 cup shredded part skim mozzarella12-15 grape tomatoes1 tbs black pepper
Directions
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. Preheat the oven to 374F.

In a separate bowl mix the spinach, onion, cottage cheese, egg and any spice you like (I usually just use freshly ground black pepper and basil). Drain the pasta when done and add it to the spinach-cheese mixture and stir.

You can use a caserole dish or any baking pan you like - lay it out with tin foil and lay out the pasta mixture on it. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top. Lastly cut the grape tomatoes in halves and arrange them on the top.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
