Easy and delicious - thank you for sharing this I topped it with cheese and baked it for 20 mins or so rather than just dishing it straight out, and it was gorgeous.

I finally got around to trying this recipe (after long admiring Bev's photo!). I loved it! The prep was easy and I loved everything about the flavor. I added some chopped walnuts to mine (since I love walnuts with cottage cheese) because I was out of pine nuts. Both teens ate it up, too! Thanks Maine-iac, for a super recipe! Roxygirl

This was quick and easy, and tasted pretty good. It wasn't all that hot once everything got mixed with the cheese, which was room temperature. Next time I will probably put the cooked pasta with the spinach mixture in a baking dish, top with the cheese, and bake for 30 minutes or so. Thanks for posting!

My fussy fussy teen daughter gave this one 6 out of 5! She said she liked how it was 'tasty and nutritious'. I left out the pine nuts b/c I forgot to buy them and the cottage cheese b/c I didnt think DH would like it, and it was still great. Yum Yum!! One to add permanently to my repertoire.
