1 red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g sundried tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 heaped tsp Smokey paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
100ml water to deglaze the pan

300g full fat cottage cheese, blitzed, plus extra water to loosen texture
Fresh basil

Salt to taste

Method
Heat up the oil in a saucepan and place on a high heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the tomato puree, seasonings, and sundried tomato, stirring frequently. After about a minute, add some water to the pan to allow the texture to become jammy.
Stir through the butter beans, blended cottage cheese, and extra water, and cover with a lid. Reduce the temperature to medium heat, and leave to simmer and reduce for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan off the heat and stir through the fresh basil and grated Parmesan.
Serve right away and with extra grated Parmesan on top.
