Wash hands with soap and water.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 13x9x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

3

Drain spinach by placing it in a sieve or colander over the sink or pressing with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible, or squeeze out liquid with clean hands. Place spinach in medium bowl.

4

Add the cottage cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, oregano, and pepper to the spinach. Stir to mix thoroughly.

5

Pour half of the spaghetti sauce into the prepared baking dish. Add water and stir into the mix.

6

Spoon about 3 tablespoons of cheese mixture into each uncooked pasta shell and arrange in a single layer over top.

7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

8

Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour or until shells are tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
