Preparation
1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2
While the pasta cooks, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Wash the fresh spinach.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well until smooth.
4
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving about a quarter cup of the pasta water.
5
Add the drained pasta, cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach to the bowl with the cottage cheese mixture. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
6
Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and the spinach has slightly wilted from the pasta's warmth.

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, muscle-building meal.
