Cottage Cheese Casserole

2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp marjoram, crushed
4 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup tomato paste
4 cups elbow macaroni
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
2 cups cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Saute butter, mushrooms, onion, celery, and garlic in a large skillet. Stir in marjoram, water, tomato paste, macaroni, salt, and sugar. Simmer until macaroni is tender, about 25 minutes.
2. Put half of the macaroni mixture in a greased 2 qt. casserole dish. Top with 1 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 of Parmesan cheese and parsley. Repeat layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

This was only eh. I didn't have any mushrooms, so those got omitted, and I used dried instead of fresh parsley. I also used vegetable broth instead of water. However, I'm not sure that using the "real" ingredients would have made this dish good enough for me to try it again. I think I'd rather take my cottage cheese elsewhere.
