2. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix together cottage cheese and spinach.

The Results:
** This meal is so fast and easy. I got it out of Family Circle magazine in 2003. I use to make this all the time when I came home from work. It was quick, easy and good. I served it with a salad and garlic bread of course.
