Creamy Cottage Cheese Pasta Bake (high Protein + Budget Friendly!)

6.0

224 g dry pasta (I recommend rigatoni)

20 mls olive oil

450 g (1lb) ground turkey / turkey mince (I used 93% lean)

1 white onion (diced (160g))

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

150 g broccoli florets (2 cups)

500 g cottage cheese (2 cups)

500 g marinara sauce (2 cups)

84 g reduced fat mozzarela (¾ cup)

28 g parmesan (¼ cup)

Pinch salt & pepper

5 large fresh basil leaves (chopped (for garnish))

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the turkey mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, and garlic. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and the onion is translucent.
Add the broccoli and sauté for about 7 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat.
Assemble the bake: In a 9x13-inch dish, mix the pasta, turkey mixture, cottage cheese, marinara sauce, and ¾ cup mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
Top with Parmesan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
