INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (approx. 170g)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (approx. 140g)
1 large Egg White (approx. 33g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx. 30g)
1 serving Cherry Tomatoes (approx. 50g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx. 4.5g)
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the fresh spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the whisked egg white, stirring quickly to lightly cook the egg white and coat the pasta.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cottage cheese to create a creamy texture. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Fold in the cherry tomatoes gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the warm, creamy, and protein-packed dish.
