When it comes to comfort food, nothing beats an ooey, gooey macaroni and cheese casserole. In this recipe, the pasta actually cooks in the sauce, making the prep time next to nothing.

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a blender, combine the milk, cottage cheese, mustard, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the grated Cheddar cheese, the bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside. (Try a combination of cheeses, using Gruyère for a nuttier flavor or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor. If you don't have any Parmesan cheese on hand, just leave it out.)
4. In a large bowl, combine the remaining Cheddar cheese, the milk mixture, and uncooked pasta. Pour into prepared pan and cover tightly with foil.
5. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, stir gently, and top with reserved cheese mixture. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until just set. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
