  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot margarine until softened, about 5 minutes.

  • Mix macaroni, cottage cheese, and Cheddar cheese sauce together in a bowl; pour into prepared casserole dish and top with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, 20 minutes.
