Step 1

Cook your noodles according to package directions in salted water.

Step 2

Add the cottage cheese, milk, marinara sauce, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning to the food processor or blender*. Blend until you get the perfect creamy consistency you desire. You can add a touch of olive oil if you want, but it's not necessary.

Step 3

Once your pasta is cooked and drained, add the creamy tomato sauce to the noodles, and mix well. Allow the heat of the noodles to heat the sauce.

Step 4

Add one ounce of Parmesan on each of the four bowls of pasta, along with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
