  5. Add the tomato and veggie mixture to a blender, add 1 cup of cottage cheese and pasta water.
  6. Blend until smooth, about 1 ½ - 2 minutes.
  7. Add some of the sauce to the pasta, stir everything, add more sauce if needed.

Notes

Pasta: use any kind of short pasta, from wheat, gluten-free, protein, chickpea, lentils. You can even use zucchini noodles to make this dish low-carb, or half regular half zoodles too. Blending the sauce: always be careful when blending hot food as the blender could get really warm. Use a kitchen towel to protect your hands.
