High-Protein Creamy Roasted Tomato Pasta 🍅🍝

Ingredients

* 8 oz spaghetti
* 10 oz cherry tomatoes
* 4–5 garlic cloves, peeled
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* ¼–½ tsp red chili flakes
* ½ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp black pepper
* 8 oz cottage cheese
* ½ cup reserved pasta water
* ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
* Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with the chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting and the garlic is soft.
2. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente. Before draining, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water.
3. Add the cottage cheese and reserved pasta water to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
4. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the roasted tomatoes and garlic, stirring to combine into a creamy sauce.
5. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated. Stir in the Parmesan until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and enjoy!

Tip: Serve with grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak for an even bigger protein boost
