basil (to taste)
oregano (to taste)

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small pan brown ground turkey over med-high heat. Remove from heat and add spinach, herbs, and cottage cheese.
Combine pasta, meat mixture, 1/4 c mozzarella, and sauce in a 2 quart casserole dish. Stir well to combine.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until mixture is heated through.
