In a large pot, boil your water. Add one 1 tablespoon salt. Once your water in boiling, add in your noodles. Cook for 8 minutes (2 minutes less than the instructions on the packaging as you want your noodles to be al dente.)

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Drain your noodles, and make sure you reserve your water. Place your noodles back in the pot. Add in your spaghetti sauce. Pour your reserved pasta water into your empty jars. Shake well to remove any leftover sauce. Pour that sauce water into the pot. Mix well.

Add in your egg, cottage cheese, and one cup of the shredded cheese mixture. Set aside the shredded cheese.

Place your noodle mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Spread evenly. Pour the remaining one cup of these shredded cheese to the top layer of your dish.

Place your dish in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish with fresh parsley and/or Parmesan cheese! Enjoy!
