- 10 oz spaghetti noodles
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 24 oz jar Rao's pasta sauce
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add your pasta and cook it according to the package instructions. While that’s cooking, let’s get started on the sauce.
Add the cottage cheese and pasta sauce to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until it’s super smooth and creamy. This is what’s going to make our sauce rich without being heavy.
Once your pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly into the skillet. Then add the sauce. Toss everything together so the pasta is coated in that creamy, dreamy rosé sauce.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil for a pop of color and freshness. You can also sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top if you’re feeling extra cheesy.
Optional - serve with diced chicken breast for extra protein.
