Cottage Cheese Pasta with Spinach & Tomatoes! My mom used to make this ALL the time when I was growing up, and it’s still one of my favorite quick and easy meals to this day! Serve with some grilled chicken, shrimp, or chicken sausage for extra protein, or eat it as-is. It’s comforting, tangy, and packed with fresh summer flavors!
12 oz gluten free spaghetti (I used jovial) or pasta of choice
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
12 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups raw baby spinach
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
16 oz cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions,. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add in the spinach and continue cooking over medium heat while stirring, until wilted. Add in the cooked pasta along with another drizzle of olive oil, the entire container of cottage cheese, and the parmesan. Toss to combine, then season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Enjoy!
