In a large skillet heat up the oil then sauté the onions and garlic or until the onions are translucent.
Add the diced tomato, paste, sauce, and oregano and mix well. At medium heat cook the tomato mixture for 3 minutes.
Transfer the tomato mixture into a blender and add the cottage cheese and milk. Blend all the ingredients well until they’re a smooth creamy consistency.
Pour the sauce back into the skillet, and add the parmesan, salt, and pepper, and simmer at low temperature for about 10 minutes. Make sure to stir the sauce a couple of times during this time.
Add the basil leaves to the skillet and mix well.
The Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce is ready to serve hot over your favorite high-protein pasta.
