Wholemeal pasta with creamy cottage cheese and seafood sauce

So Mr J has requested for more greens and less meat this week; his appetite seem to change every week, but I guess we're still adapting to the freedom of actually choosing what we want to eat! Another new-found hobby of mine now is to minimise food wastage each week; shopping always feel like a risk when I haven't got the slightest idea what I'm going to cool with the food I buy... 

Well tonight's recipe was created from wanting to create a healthy light dinner, yet clearing out what I have in the fridge. Well just happened that a friend of ours left us some cottage cheese, which he has been eating as part of his super strict diet; apparently cottage cheese is high in protein, perfect for the calorie conscious ;b ... So here it goes, a super healthy cottage cheese sauce, and to top up the healthiness - Wholemeal pasta! (Guilt-free for the pasta-lover in me :) ) 

Ingredients:

- 2 small servings of Wholemeal pasta, cooked al dente and drained.

- 1 cup of cottage cheese 

- 1 egg 

- 1 cup of pasta water 

- herbs for flavour: a few sprigs of thyme (just happened to have some fresh sprigs in the fridge too) 

- 1-2 cloves of garlic

- 4 large button mushrooms

- prawns and ling fish fillets, marinated 

- salt and pepper for seasoning

How to make it: 

- Cook marinated meat/seafood with herbs. When browned outside and semi cooked, add pasta water, cottage cheese and egg, stirring until it becomes a creamy mixture, the meat should cook thoroughly by this time. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water or milk. Season to taste. 

* I left the fish in there for too long, it kinda disintegrated into the sauce...
