    Outstanding low fat recipe! Loved the flavors and was SO easy to make. I made this dish a LOT lower in calories by substituting shirataki noodles for the pasta shells. Saved about 200 calories per serving! I cut my noodles in bite size pieces mixed in with the spinach/cottage cheese mixture and baked per your recipe. Really, really, really loved this dish. I will probably have this 2 or 3 times a week just because it's so tasty, low calorie and has ample veggies. What a winner when you're trying to loose weight. I may have used a little extra garlic too. Can't thank you enough for this great recipe.

    Very tasty. I used whole wheat pasta shells and some homemade pasta sauce. The filling was very good and I plan on stuffing some crepes with the zucchini spinach filling soon!

<p>Hi there! My name is Ashley and sad to say I am suffering from an eating disorder aka Anorexia. So you will find that most of my recipes aren't very fattening but I try to make the as tasty as possible. I am trying to get better and I find that my faith in Jesus Christ helps me in all situations. <br /><br />An update 8 years later.&nbsp; I have completely overcome my eating disorder.&nbsp; I am now a mother of two little girls and love them to death!&nbsp; It is almost embarassing to look back at the recipes because I no longer worry about eating low-calorie and these recipes just look gross, lol.<br /> <br />Update: I am happily married now and I am doing much better with my eating disorder now thanks to him!</p>
