Muffins are so much fun to eat — even for dinner. Turning this pizza-style pasta dish into a muffin guarantees an instant hit.
2 cups cooked pasta (macaroni or ziti or Tuscanini Penne Pasta)
1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/3 cup Gefen Pitted Olives, chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced or 1 cube Gefen Frozen Garlic
2 tablespoons oil
3 and 1/2 ounces (100 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Mix together all ingredients in a bowl. Grease 8–10 muffin cups (use disposable if your muffin tin is parve) and divide mixture among the cups.
Bake about 20 minutes, until golden and set.
Yields 8 to 10 muffins

These were really easy to put together and tasted yummy. I used frozen pesto cubes instead of the basil and it took 40 minutes to bake for me.
