MEXICAN PASTA VEGETABLE BAKE

Found this at 3 Fat Chicks.com. Great recipe, very filling with HUGE portions!! A great way to get your mexican fix without having to assemble burritos, enchiladas, what have you. Also a great way to use up leftover cottage cheese. I have used a drained can of corn in this recipe in lieu of the frozen--works just fine!
