This dish is an all-in-one casserole — pasta, cream, veggies, and really good flavor. Your family will love the combo of cooked and fresh veggies as well as the delicious taste. Blending the cottage cheese first results in a very creamy texture without all the calories. Feeds a crowd, so there’s enough for all of your kids’ friends too!

Prepare the Pasta Dish
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
-
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, but don’t rinse, and return to pot.
-
Add butter, half the mozzarella chunks, and the grated or sliced cheese, and mix together. Cover to keep warm while preparing the next ingredients.
-
Add vegetables, basil, cottage cheese, garlic, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
-
Pour into a nine- by 13-inch (20- by 30-centimeter) baking pan lined with Gefen Easy Baking Parchment. Dot the top with remaining mozzarella chunks, and drizzle with olive oil.
-
Bake for 10 minutes uncovered. Cover pan with parchment paper, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Continue baking for approximately 25 minutes, or until top of the pasta is golden and crispy. Let sit a few minutes before serving.
Variation:
You can use fettuccine pasta to replace the penne noodles, if desired.
