Pasta Florentine

Baked Pasta Recipes | 0 comments

A tasty and low-fat (use 1% cottage cheese) meatless pasta meal. Make it fancy with bow-tie or corkscrew pasta. I also like to make it with 1 cup feta cheese and 1 cup cottage cheese, in place of all cottage cheese. For a larger crowd it is also a nice side dish.
