Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the uncooked pasta shells until they are al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Dot the top of the casserole with small pieces of the remaining butter.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your cottage cheese casserole.
