Skillet Pasta Florentine

“Here's a great weeknight supper that's budget-friendly, healthy and liked by children.” And with such a thick, cheesy topping, who'd ever guess that it's lighter? Kelly Turnbull - Jupiter, Florida

6 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Cook: 30 min.

Ingredients

3 cups uncooked spiral pasta
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups (16 ounces) 2% cottage cheese
1-1/2 cups reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 teaspoon each dried parsley flakes, oregano and basil
1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large
bowl, combine the egg, cottage cheese, ricotta, spinach, 1/2 cup
mozzarella and herbs.
Drain pasta. Place half of sauce in a large skillet; layer with pasta
and remaining sauce. Top with cheese mixture.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or
until a thermometer reads 160°.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and remaining mozzarella cheese; cover
and cook 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5
minutes before serving.
