Ingredients

White Scribbled Underline

Step 1

Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot. I boiled mine for 5 minutes longer as we like our pasta a little more tender, but you can boil them until they're al dente.

Step 2

Next, turn on a burner to medium heat then melt butter in a large skillet, and then add cooked pasta and coat it with the melted butter by stirring it several times.

Step 3

Now add heavy cream and marinara sauce to the pan. Mix it into the pasta well. Heat the sauce and pasta for about 1 minute, then add cottage cheese to it.

Step 4

Mix in cottage cheese with pasta and let pasta simmer for about another 2 minutes, stirring it occasionally in the middle.

Step 5

Now turn the heat off and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pasta. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the cheese to melt. Serve as soon as the cheese is melted. Or you can transfer pasta into an oven-safe baking dish and bake for 20 minutes at 350 F (my preference).

Step 6

Your delicious Marinara Pasta is ready to be served!
