Baked Cottage Cheese Pasta with Marinara
Tender chickpea pasta is folded into a velvety cottage cheese marinara sauce and baked until the parmesan topping becomes golden and bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea penne pasta
1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 cup Marinara sauce
1 cup Baby spinach
2 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with the olive oil.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it stays al dente after baking.
Place the cottage cheese into a small food processor or blender and pulse until it is completely smooth and creamy.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the blended cottage cheese, marinara sauce, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Drain the pasta and immediately fold it into the sauce along with the fresh baby spinach, allowing the residual heat to wilt the leaves.
Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top has turned a light golden brown.
