When pasta is cooked, drain about 1/2 of the water off. Place a layer of pasta in a 13 x 9 inch pan. You will want to make a layer of pasta, cover with sauce and top with both of the cheeses, use a little bit of the cheeses on each layer or it will get real gummy. On the last layer, omit the parmigiano (cottage cheese) and use the mozzarella.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes.
