Steps
- Cook pasta according to package directions and remember to reserve one cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and minced garlic, then sauté over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced fire-roasted tomatoes and lemon juice, simmering over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Carefully transfer the cooked tomatoes, cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to a blender and blend until the sauce is completely smooth. Ensure steam can escape if ingredients are hot, and add an extra splash of pasta water if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Combine the creamy sauce with the cooked pasta, tossing to coat evenly, and season with salt to taste if needed.
Notes
This creamy and healthy pasta sauce is a quick and satisfying meal. Adjust the amount of pasta water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
