STUFFED SHELLS WITH SPINACH, RICOTTA, AND COTTAGE CHEESE
This is one recipe that my family never gets tired off. Works great all the time! I like to serve this with toasted Italian bread and salad. Leftovers can be used for lunch.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes; do not overcook. Drain and rinse shells with cold water.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place frozen spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and add water. Heat in the microwave for 4 minutes. Stir and allow to cool. Squeeze spinach dry and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, garlic, oregano, basil, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the spinach and mix well.
- Pour and spread 1/2 to 3/4 cup pasta sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Fill each cooked pasta shell with spinach mixture and arrange, filled-side up, in the baking dish, keeping 1/2 inch between shells. Carefully pour remaining sauce on top of shells and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Serve hot.
