Ingredients
Scale
1 pound sausage (we use mild Italian)
1 large onion, chopped
3–4 cloves of garlic, minced
8 ounces rigatoni (half a box)
1 28-ounce can of tomatoes (any kind, but we happened to have whole)
1 cup water or milk
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or oregano)
1 cup cottage cheese
1 teaspoon salt or Better Than Bullion
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large pot, cook onions and sausage on medium heat until the sausage is cooked through and the onions are soft. About 8 minutes. (Depending on how fatty your sausage is, you might need a drizzle of olive oil.)
Add the tomatoes, pasta, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt or Better Than Bullion and 1 cup of water or milk. Stir and cover.
Bring to a boil. Lower heat and remove the lid halfway (perched on top). Cook for about 12 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
Add cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir and serve.
