Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook high-protein pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water and drain the pasta.
Step 2
Blend cottage cheese, tomato sauce, and fresh basil in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add turkey sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned.
Step 4
Add the blended sauce to the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently, heating through without boiling to avoid curdling. Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce. Thin with reserved pasta water if needed.
Step 5
Mix in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with additional Parmesan and parsley as garnish.
