Spaghetti & Broccoli

Submitted by Jili7534

"This is my aunt's recipe and is a family favorite. I add chicken for my must-have-meat man, but if you use protein pasta and don't forget the cottage cheese, you can still get a good amount of protein out of this meatless meal. I know it sounds weird, but Spaghetti & Broccoli is not the same without the cottage cheese! Refrigerates well and is even better the second day."
