Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- Cook meat in large skillet over medium-high heat until fat is rendered and meat is brown and crumbled. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and cook until softened.
- Stir in sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until tender with a bite, according to package directions. Drain and stir pasta into sauce. Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet.
- Stir cottage cheese and 1 cup Italian cheese together with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dollop cheese mixture over pasta mixture and spread remaining Italian cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned and crisp around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
