Meatloaf Pasta

The other night I made meatloaf and I always have tons left over. And I don't know about you but I get really sick of having the same dinner for three nights in a row. So here's an idea to use that leftover meatloaf in a different way.
Meatloaf Pasta

6-8 oz. dry pasta (your favorite shape)

about 1 lb. meatloaf, cut in cubes

about 1 lb. mozzarella, cut in cubes

1-2 c. spaghetti sauce

1 c. cottage cheese

parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Return pasta to pot and add remaining ingredients except parmesan. Heat over medium until cheese melts. Serve with parmesan sprinkled on top. Serves 4-6.

If you don't have meatloaf, you could use anything like meatballs, pepperoni, or even chicken. Or omit the meat altogether for a meatless dish. Experiment and enjoy!
