Tasted very good. My kids love the long fusilli noodles. I sprinkled the top with a little mozzarella and popped it in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese. The cottage cheese mixture got a bit watery, and I think there could have been more of it. Maybe add some ricotta to it and/or an egg? I will make this again, but simply add ricotta to the cheese mixture to increase it. Thanx for shring!
