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.

MY AWESOME COTTAGE CHEESE TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Set toaster oven on "toast" and place a slice of bread and a slice of tomato inside. After the bread is browned as much as you like it (I like mine VERY dark as you can see in the picture) flip it over. Leave the tomato.
• After the second side is done, take the tomato and bread out of the oven and set it to "broil.".
• At this step i also like to remove the skin from the tomato slice but that it optional. Place tomato on bread and spread cottage cheese on top. Sprinkle with chili powder.
• Place under the broiler and broil until cottage cheese starts to melt.
