Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Clean the zucchini, bell peppers, and carrot and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the shallots and halve or quarter them.
2
|
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet. Add the tomatoes and unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the bell pepper skins begin to blister.

|
About five to ten minutes before the vegetables are done, bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the pasta, then cook according to the package directions.
4
|
Remove the vegetables from the oven and place them in a blender or food processor. Add the cottage cheese and Parmesan and blend until smooth. Gradually add some pasta water (about 100ml) until the sauce has a creamy, thick consistency.

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, dried herbs and chili flakes and serve with the cooked pasta.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Roasting Veggie Magic 🔥Cut vegetables to uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and caramelization, which intensifies the sauce's flavor profile.
- Cheese Blending Technique 🧀Allow roasted vegetables to cool slightly before blending with cottage cheese to prevent separation and maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
- Flavor Layering Trick 🌶️Toast dried herbs and chili flakes in olive oil for 30 seconds before adding garlic and shallots to unlock their deeper, more complex flavors.
- Pasta Sauce Consistency 🥄Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust sauce thickness - the starchy water helps create a silky, clingy sauce.
- Cheese Melting Hack 🧈Grate Parmesan fresh and fold it into the sauce off the heat to prevent graininess and ensure a smooth, luxurious finish.
