Protein Pasta with Marinara and Cottage Cheese
Boiled protein pasta tossed in a velvety marinara cream sauce made with whipped cottage cheese, creating a rich and satisfying texture.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Barilla Protein+ pasta
0.5 cup Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce
1.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Barilla Protein+ pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, place the cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the Rao's marinara sauce with the blended cottage cheese, stirring constantly until warmed through.
Season the sauce with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, ensuring the heat remains low to prevent the cottage cheese from curdling.
Drain the pasta, reserving a small splash of pasta water, and return the pasta to the pot.
Pour the creamy marinara sauce over the pasta and toss well, adding a bit of reserved water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
