BAKED SPELT PENNE PASTA

3 cups uncooked Alb-Gold Spelt Penne (approx, 1 ½ pkgs)
1 – ¾ cups spaghetti sauce, divided (with or without meat) we like more sauce with ours, so I used probably twice as much sauce.
1 cup (8 ozs) cottage cheese
1 – ½ cups (6 ozs) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese,
divided 1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Bring a large pot of water to boil. 
Add a tablespoon of salt (or to your taste) and add the spelt penne. 
Reduce heat and allow pasta to boil for approximately 11 minutes.
Drain.
In a large bowl, combine ¾ cup spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, parsley, oregano, garlic powder and pepper. 
Stir pasta into cheese mixture.
In an 8-inch square baking dish, spread ¼ to ½ cup spaghetti sauce. 
Top with pasta mixture, remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes.
Uncover; bake 5 – 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
