Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 9×13 baking dish, stir together the marinara sauce, water, cottage cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the spaghetti (break the noodles in half if needed to fit) and press down so the noodles are mostly submerged.

- Stir well, then top with the torn mozzarella.
- Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
