INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, toss the broccoli florets with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until edges are slightly crispy and tender.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with low-fat cottage cheese, incorporating the cheese evenly to create a creamy sauce.
Gently fold in the roasted broccoli, reserving a few florets for garnish if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and, if preferred, bake for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
