Baked Bowties With Cheese: A Lower Fat Mac and Cheese

Will brought home some garlic bread from the store, so I figured, why not make something tasty to go with it? Here is this attempt.
First, get your water boiling to cook your farfalle. Meanwhile, cook one diced onion in two teaspoons oil until soft but not brown. Add dill and two teaspoons flour and stir til combined. Add two-thirds of a cup of milk and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add a cup of low-fat cottage cheese and a third of a cup of grated cheddar cheese. Stir this until the cheese is melted and add the cooked and drained farfalle. Spoon it into a casserole dish, cook at 350 for twenty minutes; add breadcrumbs to the top and cook another fifteen minutes.
I served this with broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots as well as the garlic bread. Will raved that I got the bread nice and crispy and also that I made saucy pasta that was worth dipping the bread into.
