    garlic powder (to taste)
    basil (to taste)
    oregano (to taste)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400.
    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.
