High Protein Tomato Gnocchi
You can’t taste the cottage cheese in this recipe, it just lends a creamy flavour and texture to the sauce! Plus it increases the overall protein in the dish which is always a plus. I’ve served this with gnocchi but it would be great with butter beans instead!

FAQ
What’s the best way to store this dish?
Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then reheat gently on the hob - gentle heat is necessary with cottage cheese because it has a tendency to split!
Can this be frozen?
Due to the cottage cheese, I wouldn't recommend freezing this!
