Ingredients
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook turkey sausage, breaking it up until browned and fully cooked.
- Add diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in marinara or crushed tomatoes and let simmer for 3–5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Add blended cottage cheese, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Use reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir until fully combined. Add spinach if using and cook until wilted.
- Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve warm.

Notes
- If you like your pasta with more sauce like I do, add more crushed tomatoes or marinara a half cup at a time to your liking.
- 2 cups of spinach looks like a lot raw → cooks down perfectly and doesn't over power the dish. You can add more or less depending on preference
