This simple pasta packs on extra protein with the help of a secret ingredient: cottage cheese. Don’t turn and run if you’re averse to it--whipping the cottage cheese gives it a light and velvety texture, and it pairs perfectly with a simple tomato-basil sauce that you can make from start to finish in the blender.

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season generously with salt.
In the pitcher of a highspeed blender combine the tomatoes, cottage cheese and seasoned salt. Puree on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the olive oil and basil and pulse to combine. Pour the sauce into a large bowl.
Add the pasta to the water and cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Using a pasta spider, remove the pasta from the water directly to the bowl with the sauce. Add ½ cup pasta water to the bowl and sprinkle the bare pasta with the parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat. Continue to mix until the sauce clings to the pasta, about 2 minutes. Serve with additional cheese or basil if desired.

Greetings! The star system here would only allow my to rank this recipe at four stars (?). I would offer a 5 star ranking! So delicious and perfect for a meatless Monday or any time you crave a creamy, delicious pasta. The cottage cheese is revelatory – don’t be hesitant to try it. It ups the protein and adds such a delicious creamy consistency. We made our own spicy salt mixture which worked out well but did order several tins of the Pomodorino di Corbara. So tasty! We will be making this again!

This was delicious. I added Italian sausage for extra protein and it is now in our rotation of family dinners.
