Simple Stuffed Shells

So this is the easiest meal yet - however, if you are a man who doesn't grocery shop a lot - you MIGHT have some issues :)  Large shell pasta does not mean "hey, medium must be the next smaller size".....you actually need to get the large or jumbo shell pasta :)  Really good - made this with green beans and was full full full.  (and Burkes - it only took 10 minutes to prepare!)
Serves 6
Ingredients:
24 oz carton cottage cheese (the 1% stuff ross....YELLOW!)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
salt / pepper
12 oz pkg jumbo shell pasta, uncooked
1 cup spinach leaves, torn
14 oz can diced italian tomatoes
14 oz can spaghetti sauce
2c shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; mix well.  Spoon into shells; arrange in a 13x9 baking pan sprayed with non-stick veggie spray.  Tuck spinach leaves between shells; pour tomatoes and spaghetti sauce on top, making sure all shells are well covered.  Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Uncover and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; bake 15 more min or until cheese is melted.
