BAKED ZITI

1 pound dry mini ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I like Prego’s Ricotta Parmesan)
1 carton (low-fat) cottage cheese
mozzarella cheese, shredded
grated parmesan cheese to cover the top

DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground turkey over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes. Add the noodles and mix.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish, or 2 8x8 baking dishes (one to eat, one to freeze). Layer as follows: 1/2 of the mixture, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 sauce mixture, mozzarella cheese and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
