--------------------------TOSS TOGETHER AND TOAST--------------------------
1/2 c Sunflower seeds
1 tb Oil
3 tb Butter
1 sm Chopped onion
1 c Sliced mushrooms
2 1/2 c Grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c Cottage cheese
1/4 ts Nutmeg

3 c Dry breadcrumbs
2 tb Butter; melted

Heat oven to 350F. Toast sunflower seeds in oil in a skillet until golden,
and season with a sprinkle of salt. Boil macaroni for half the required
time. (For small shells about 3 minutes.) Macaroni should still have a
definite chew to it, because it will continue to cook in the oven. Saute
onions until light golden in color and add mushrooms, saute another 4
minutes. Stir all ingredients together well and spoon into a greased baking
dish. Bake for 20 minutes and cover with breadcrumbs. Bake another 10
minutes and garnish with raw green bell pepper or parsley.
