This bad boy was super quick and easy and extremely filling. First I steamed a bed of spinach and place on the bottom of the bowl. I then added a big scoop of cottage cheese and added 2/3 cup whole wheat pasta on top. For the sauce I heated some roasted eggplant with marinara and added capers and kalmata olives to make a tasty puttanesca sauce. Dumped the sauce over the noodles, added more cheese, mix, and YUM! I actually wasn't even able to finish all the pasta!
Adding lots of veggies to your pasta is a great way to fill up on less carbs. And adding cottage cheese may seem a little odd to some, but cottage cheese is just like ricotta's brother, except lower fat. It actually melts and gets really creamy and delicious in pasta plus adds a big punch of protein. I highly recommend it!
