Pumpkin & Sage Cottage Cheese Pasta

A cosy, creamy pasta with pumpkin, sage and Parmesan, finished with a crunchy pumpkin seed topping. Blending cottage cheese into the sauce gives it a smooth texture and adds protein, while the pumpkin brings a gentle sweetness that balances the savoury cheese and herbs. Spelt pasta and pumpkin seeds contribute fibre, and the toasted sage topping adds extra flavour and crunch. Using tinned pumpkin purée makes this a practical option for a quick autumn dinner.
