Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add onion and saute for 5-6 minutes until fragrant and a bit translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and saute 1-2 more minutes.
Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking apart meat with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
While ground turkey is cooking, add marinara sauce and cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Once turkey is cooked, pour the sauce over the turkey mixture, add cooked pasta and stir to combine.
Add a scoop of pasta to a bowl or plate. Top with fresh parmesan and fresh basil, for serving.
