Stuffed Shells

This was a HUGE hit.  I even used low fat cottage cheese and there was more than enough flavor.

20 large shell noodles
1 lb. small curd cottage cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups spaghetti sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles as directed on package. Drain noodles and let them cool for 20 minutes until they are cool to the touch. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese and parmesan. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish. Pour a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish and spread it out with a rubber spatula. With a teaspoon, place a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture into each shell. Place the shells side by side on the sauce in the dish. Cover with the rest of the sauce, spreading it with a spatula. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbly and brown. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
