Looking for a healthy pasta sauce? Cottage Cheese Tomato Sauce is a rich and creamy tomato sauce with a hint of cheesy flavour. Plus, it’s ready in only 20 minutes.

Whether it’s a cool winter’s day or a warm summer one, pasta is the perfect comfort food meal. With perfectly cooked noodles and a warm, creamy sauce, pasta can make any day better.

When it comes to pasta, there’s nothing as simple as pasta with tomato sauce. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s a classic. Unfortunately, tomato sauce can sometimes get a bad rap – tasting boring, bland and totally blah.

Cottage Cheese Tomato Sauce is anything but bland, with pops of flavour from fresh basil, garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, cottage cheese and red pepper flakes. This dish is the perfect combination of creamy, cheesy and richly flavoured tomato sauce.

Adding in balsamic vinegar kicks this sauce up a notch. It gives it a boost of flavour that’s almost unexpected. The light balsamic zing is amplified by the red pepper flakes. Without being spicy, Cottage Cheese Tomato Sauce packs a real flavour punch. The cottage cheese adds a light, creamy and almost Parmesan tasting flavour.

Cottage Cheese Tomato Sauce is a wonderful 20-minute meal. Indulge in a big bowl of pasta tonight. You deserve it!
