Silky Cottage Cheese and Chickpea Pasta with Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Chickpea pasta tossed in a creamy blended cottage cheese sauce with wilted spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, finished with a sprinkle of savory nutritional yeast.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 ounces Chickpea Pasta
0.75 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
2 tablespoons Sun-Dried Tomatoes (drained)
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve half a cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and two tablespoons of the pasta water, blending until completely smooth and silky.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the sun-dried tomatoes for two minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Lower the heat to low and add the cooked pasta and blended cottage cheese sauce to the skillet, tossing gently to coat.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and add more pasta water if needed to reach your desired creamy consistency.
Season with black pepper and serve immediately while warm.
