Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the low calorie pasta as per the instructions and measure out 3 cups of the cooked noodles. In a separate bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients until combined.
In a large bowl, mix together half of the pasta sauce, the cottage cheese, one cup of the mozzarella cheese, egg, and Italian herbs. Add the cooked pasta and mix well.
Spread ¼ cup of the pasta sauce. Add the pasta mixture and then spread the remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
