Baked Macaroni and Cottage Cheese

This recipe is originally from 1943.  It is from “The Modern Family Cookbook” by Meta Given.    I have taken the original recipe and  modernized it for today’s generation.   I added garlic and also sautéed the onions.   I also added Italian seasonings and of course no pasta recipe is complete without shredded cheese!    The original recipe can be found below.
