COTTAGE CHEESE PASTA WITH TOMATOES, SCALLIONS AND CURRANTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put currants in a small bowl and ladle a little of the boiling water over them to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes, then drain.
• Meanwhile, salt the remaining water in the pot. When it returns to a boil, add pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 1 minute less than the package directs. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
• In a large serving bowl, combine scallions, tomatoes, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• When the currants are soaked, add them to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss to combine. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Add pasta to the serving bowl, along with cottage cheese, pepper and a few splashes of reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup), and toss until evenly coated. If pasta looks dry, add a little more pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time. Stir in herbs. Taste, and add more salt and lemon, if needed.
• To serve, top with a dusting of ground cinnamon (if you like), flaky salt, a lot of black pepper, and more olive oil and herbs. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

• Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package directions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water (reserve it), and add the peas to the pot. Once the pasta is al dente, drain it (with the peas). Immediately transfer the hot pasta and peas to the bowl with the cottage cheese. Add the parmesan cheese, season well with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Add a few splashes of the pasta cooking water, tossing until the sauce is loose enough to evenly coat the spaghetti.
• Twirl the spaghetti into bowls and garnish with more parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chives, if you'd like. Devour!

12 GENIUS COTTAGE CHEESE RECIPES TO TRY: COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES & MORE!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla (if you see very large clumps of cottage cheese, try to break them up or smash them with a fork).
• In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Add it to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, then add a bit of butter to coat. Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of batter and cook the pancakes until golden brown on one side, adjusting the heat so it doesn't brown too fast. Flip and cook until cooked through and no longer gooey at the edges (the batter will ooze out a bit at the sides; just keep cooking until it is fully cooked, adjusting the heat as necessary so it doesn't brown too fast). Place the pancakes in a stack under an overturned bowl, and cook the second batch of pancakes.
• Serve immediately, topped with pure maple syrup.
