Pasta is an incredibly versatile ingredient with many fans worldwide, especially in Italy, where the iconic spaghetti originates. Noodles can be the base for many delicious dishes, such as soups, salads, or casseroles. Today, I propose a recipe for a pasta casserole with phyllo dough, cottage cheese, and an egg-milk mixture. This dish is quick to prepare and exceptionally tasty, making it disappear from plates even faster than it was made.

This casserole is ideal for a family dinner. It is delicious and filling and will surely satisfy the appetites of all household members. Thanks to garlic and parsley, this dish is also very aromatic.
