Mix the first 5 ingredients in a large sauce pan, bring to medium heat (about 5 minutes) then turn to low and let simmer 20 minutes. Cook the pasta.

Layer in a dish:  First,half the sauce, then half the macaroni, then cottage cheese sprinkle the parmesan cheese over it, (if you wanted to add spinach or broccoli you could add it uncooked on this layer) (both are very good in this recipe) then add the last of the macaroni, finally put on the last of the sauce and cover with shredded cheddar.
