Ingredients

  • 5 cups penne pasta
  • 5 quarts water
  • 5 tablespoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ cup Tnuva Quark Creamy Soft Cheese 95% Fat Free
  • 5 ½ ounces Tnuva Shredded Mozzarella
  • 5 ½ ounces Tnuva Edam Cheese shredded
  • 5 ½ ounces Tnuva Parmesan grated
  • 1 tablespoon Tnuva Butter
  • 2 egg whites
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.  
  • Bring the water to a boil with salt. Prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package. The pasta should be “al dente” after about 10 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan, heat up the olive oil and add garlic. Fry until golden. Add the crushed tomatoes and mix well.
  • Gently add all of the Quark cheese and about half of each of the other cheeses to the sauce and mix well.
  • Grease a baking dish with butter and pour the pasta into the dish. Then add the sauce onto the pasta.
  • Beat the remainder of the cheeses with the heavy cream and the egg whites. Spread this mixture over the pasta.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for about 5 minutes on high heat. Serve immediately.
