Rotini Spinach Mac

Method

1. 01On the stove in a large pot, boil 10 cups of water salted with 3 tbsp of salt.
2. 02When the water has come to a boil, add the carrots and set a timer for 15 minutes.
3. 03While the carrots are boiling, blanch the spinach by boiling for 30 seconds then immediately removing from the pot and placing into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the water from the ice bath and squeeze the water out of the spinach until you have a dry ball.
4. 04Once the carrots are done boiling, remove them from the pot and allow to cool. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Once done, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and strain the pasta.
5. 05Cook the sirloin in a hot skillet to your preferred doneness, rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
6. 06Now it's time to make the sauce. In a high-powered blender, add the cottage cheese, carrot, spinach, garlic, nutritional yeast, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Blend on high. If too thick, add the remaining pasta water as needed until desired consistency is reached.
7. 07Now in the pot add the sauce and the pasta. Mix to combine over med-low heat about 5 minutes.
8. 08Divide the pasta into 4 servings and top each with 80g of sliced sirloin.
