Heart Pasta

I made up this recipe for our Valentine's dinner and it's a keeper. It was so tasty.

5-6 cups cooked elbow macaroni
1 jar Roasted Garlic Parmesan sauce (or Alfredo sauce)
2 cups cottage cheese
1 can sliced olives
1 can diced tomatoes (I prefer the olive, oregano, basil kind)
1 cup cooked and chopped bacon (or bacon bits)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on top)
parsley (to sprinkle on top)

  • Cook and drain macaroni.
  • Add pasta sauce and cottage cheese. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Add olives, tomatoes and bacon. Stir until well mixed.
  • Spoon into greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and parsley over the top.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is nicely melted.
