CREAMY PASTA WITH FLORETS
Cottage cheese is the surprising base for the wonderfully creamy sauce that coats the pasta and veggies in this side dish. My husband, who doesn't like to compromise good taste for low-fat foods, didn't even realize this recipe was lower in fat. -Barbara Toher, Lexington, Kentucky
