Method

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil for the pasta and salt it once it boils; add the wholemeal pasta and cook for the time on the packet, usually 10–12 minutes, until al dente.
2. Meanwhile wash the cherry tomatoes, halve them and dress them in a bowl with the olive oil, a pinch of salt and torn basil.
3. Drain the cottage cheese of its whey and put it in the serving bowl.
4. Drain the pasta and immediately stir it into the cottage cheese: the heat of the pasta warms it and makes it creamy.
5. Add the tomatoes with their dressing and finish with black pepper.
