Ingredients

    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Chicken Breast, no skin, 6 ounces
    Onions, raw, 1/2 cup, finely chopped
    Flour, white, 1/4 cup
    Milk, nonfat, 4 cups
    Pepper, black, 1/2 tsp
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Garlic powder, 1 tsp

    Egg white, 1
    Cottage Cheese, Nonfat, 15 oz
    Spinach, fresh, 2 cups finely chopped
    Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1/4 cup




Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

Heat 1 tbsp of Olive Oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz. chopped chicken breast and 1/2 c. onions. Cook until no pink is left in the chicken and onions are wilted. Add the 1/4 cup of flour and stir until blended. Whisk in the 4 cups of milk, garlic, salt, pepper, uncooked rotini and bring to a boil. Boil until the white sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

While the sauce is boiling, combine the 15 oz of FF cottage cheese, spinach, egg white, and 3/4 of the parmesan cheese.

After the sauce is thickened, pour in a 11x7" baking pan and stir in the spinach combination. Top with remaining parmesan cheese.

    I tried this recipe last night, with major changes to it, and my husband loved it, still needs major tweeking for us. Dry eggs are an egg substitute. They are a powdered binding agent that replaces eggs. Lactose, gluten, milk etc free. Like "Egg Beaters" except only used in baked food preparation - 1/8/09
