1 pound medium-size pasta shells (I used whole wheat)
1 pound grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 container (16 ounce) cottage cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 container (16 ounce) sour cream (I used light)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry bread crumbs (I used Panko)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9 X 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Bring water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Cook until just done. Drain.
Meanwhile, mix cheeses and sour cream in a large bowl. Add the hot pasta and mix well. Add salt and pepper to suit your tastes. Transfer to baking dish (I added a little more shredded cheddar on the top).
Mix bread crumbs, parsley, and butter in a small bowl and sprinkle over shells. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30-35 minutes.
