Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, then once cooked to al dente drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the sausage. Cook until the meat begins to brown. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. While the sausage cooks, add crushed tomatoes, paprika and cottage cheese to a blender and process until smooth. Pour this sauce over the cooked turkey and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked pasta and remove from heat.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a sprinkle of parmesan, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage tips:
  • In the refrigerator: Transfer cooled pasta to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
  • To reheat: Leftovers can be reheated on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. You may need to add a small amount of broth, water or milk to moisten and loosen the noodles.
