- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the pasta for 10 mins or until just cooked. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the oil and cook the onion for 5-6 mins or until beginning to soften. Take one of the peppers from the jar, slice and add to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper and a pinch of dried herbs. Cook for 1-2 mins.
- Put the remaining roasted peppers into a large jug, along with the cottage cheese and the veg stock. Using a handheld stick blender, blitz until smooth.
- Reduce the heat, then pour the blended sauce into the pan and heat through gently, do not boil. Check the seasoning and tip the cooked pasta into the pan. Cook for 1 min to heat through. Loosen with reserved pasta water if too thick.
- Divide the pasta between plates and add some salad on the side. Sprinkle with a little grated cheese to finish.
