Easy High-Protein Veggie Pasta

Name: Easy High-Protein Veggie Pasta
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 17 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 200 g Pasta (I got this funky shape from Sainsbury’s!); 1/2 tin Tinned cherry tomatoes; 100 g Cottage cheese; 60 g Roasted peppers (from a jar); 1 bunch Basil, small bunch; Salt; Pepper; 1/2 tspn Garlic paste (or a crushed garlic clove); 1/2 tspn Chilli paste (or chilli flakes); 10 g Pine nuts; Parmesan; Extra basil

What started as a way of using up leftover cottage cheese in the fridge turned into what will now become a new staple! This is absolutely delicious and really high in protein for a vegetarian option. You could increase the protein by serving with some chicken or halloumi too!
