Tips
Store everything frozen; no need to thaw before reheating.
To reheat, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Blend cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth; heating it slightly in the microwave can assist in the process.
Cook pasta to 50% doneness (half the time shown on the box) before adding to the slow cooker.
