Four-Cheese Pasta Florentine

This recipe is not for the lactose intolerant, but for those of you who can't get enough, just say "CHEESE!"

Ingredients

3 cups mostaccioli, uncooked (Really any stubby pasta will work. I used rigatoni.)

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
1 cup  BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN 2% Milkfat Low Fat Cottage Cheese
2 eggs
1 pkg.  (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

HEAT oven to 375ºF.
COOK pasta as directed on package. Meanwhile, cook spinach as directed on package; drain well. Place in large bowl. Add cream cheese; stir until melted. Stir in cottage cheese and eggs until well blended.
DRAIN pasta. Add to spinach mixture with mozzarella; mix lightly. Spoon into 8- or 9-inch square baking dish; top with Parmesan.
BAKE 25 min. or until center is set.

I tried this out last night. Very easy. I only had 6 oz of fresh spinach, so I supplemented with 4 oz of broccoli and added fresh basil, garlic and salt and pepper per Betz recommendation. I will make this again.
