INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat pasta

1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella
1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven on a parchment-lined tray for 20-25 minutes until tender.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, and fat-free Greek yogurt. Stir in the baby spinach and mix well.
Add the roasted butternut squash and cooked pasta to the cheese mixture. Gently fold all the ingredients together until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
