Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the cottage cheese in a sieve over a bowl to drain for 5 minutes. Bring the water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 8 to 9 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are browned and any liquid in the pan has evaporated.
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and remaining salt to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. In a 2-cup baking dish, stir together the drained pasta, sautéed vegetables, marinara sauce, and the drained cottage cheese.
Top the mixture with the mozzarella. Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 8 minutes more until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted. Done when cheese is melted and browned, 160°F.
