BAKED ZITI PASTA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the cottage cheese, eggs and 1 cup of the parmesan cheese together in a medium bowl; set aside. Cook pasta until pasta begins to soften but is not yet cooked through, about 7 minutes (the pasta will finish cooking in the oven). Drain pasta and leave in colander. Do not wash the large pot you cooked the pasta in. While the pasta is cooking, heat oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, sugar, basil and oregano; simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Take off heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir cornstarch into milk and transfer mixture to the now-empty large pot the pasta cooked in. Set the pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add cottage cheese mixture, 1 cup tomato sauce, and 3/4 cup mozzarella, then stir to combine. Add pasta and stir to coat thoroughly with sauce. FREEZER MEAL: Put together the pasta dish as indicated above. Cover with aluminum foil and put in the freezer until ready to cook.
