  1. Simple and tasteful. The majority of time is taken by cutting vegetables. I have left out peanuts, exchanged feta for mozarella because I couldnt get any and added some lemon. For lactose intolerant I would suggest changing cotton cheese for flour.
     
  2. This turned out great! I left out the pine nuts and spinach because I didn't have any. I also subbed a can of tomatoes with garlic, basil, and oregano instead of fresh tomatoes. Put it in the oven for about 10 mins at the end as suggested by other reviewers. Such an easy, tasty dish that you can easily add some meat. I'll be adding this to our rotation!
     
  3. it was quick and easy and it tasted just ok.I think i put too much spinach in it,was VERY spinachy..will make again but will probably swap the spinach for chicken or olives :)
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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

  2. This is wonderful! I prepared as directed by Maine-iac, however I did substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage. The pasta was terrific and immensely tasty. I will prepare this again, and look forward to serving it in the future. Thanks Maine-iac!! Love your recipes : )
