Ingredients

2-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables
1-1/2 cups water
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 envelope sloppy joe mix
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups (16 ounces) 2% cottage cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the vegetables, water, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sloppy joe mix, parsley and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 7-9 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain pasta; stir into beef mixture.
Spoon half of the mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with cottage cheese, 3/4 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and the remaining pasta mixture.
Cover and bake at 350 ° for 25 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
