    Heat mixture in the microwave a minute at a time, until thickened. Stir in cheese. Set aside.

Cover bottom of the dish with ½ the cooked pasta, then spread ½ the tomato mixture, followed by half the cheese sauce or cottage cheese on top. Repeat this process with remaining pasta, tomato mixture and cheese sauce. Top with the extra grated cheese.
