With an adult helper nearby, turn the oven to 350. Fill the pot three fourths full of water and add the salt. Put it on the cooktop and turn on to high heat. When the water is boiling hard, add the noodles and cook until they are tender about 5 to 7 minutes. Have an adult drain the noodles for you in a colander in the sink. Let them cool for 20 minutes, until they are cool to the touch.

In the bowl, combine the cottage cheese and parmesan stirring well with the wooden spoon. Spray the inside of the baking dish with the cooking spray. Pour a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan and spread out with the rubber spatula. With the teaspoon place a heaping spoonful, of the cheese mixture into each shell. Place the shells side by side on the sauce in the pan. If there is more cottage cheese left, use the teaspoon to drop the cheese onto the shells. Cover with the rest of the sauce, spreading it with the spatula. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce.
