Ingredients

    2 c. elbow macaroni
    1 1/2 c. cottage cheese
    1/4 c. margarine
    1/4 c. Flour
    1/2 t. salt

Cook macaroni according to package directions. While macaroni is cooking, place the cottage cheese in a food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the margarine. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and garlic. Stir until smooth. Gradually add the milk and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for two minutes or until thick.

Drain the macaroni and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cheeses and the white sauce. Add broccoli or other veggies if desired. Pour into a 13x9x2 baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
