Ingredients:

6 oz of noodles (mafalda or bowties. you can use the big lasagna noodles if you want, but imo they are more of a hassle to make, eat, store, and reheat)

Sauce stuff:
Seasonings refer to dried ingredients. If you want you can translate them to fresh equivalents. Just alter the quantities as appropriate!

8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp minced onion
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp oregano

Cheeses:
4 oz mozarella, shredded
12 oz lowfat cottage cheese (apparently you can use ricotta but i never do)

Oven to 375
Boil noodles per box instructions

Sauce:
Combine onion, tomato stuff, spices. Heat and stir to blend flavors.

Stacking order starting from the bottom of the casserole going up:
1/3 of the sauce
1/2 of the noodles
1/2 of the mozarella
1/2 of the cottage cheese
1/3 of the sauce
rest of noodles
rest of cheeses
rest of sauce

Cover. 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
Excellent reheated.

Whenever I hear a really terrible pun, I am forced to share it with the rest of the world. It’s an unnatural compulsion, somewhat akin, I think, to the funniest joke in the world. In fact, I will spend a sum total of several hours out of my day telling this joke to various poor slobs.

It is in the spirit of wasting just a little bit more of both my time and yours that I give you today’s joke:

Did you hear about the fire at the circus?

It was intense.
