A creamy and vibrant Supergreen Pasta packed with 57g of protein from cottage cheese, cavolo nero, and chicken. A 30-minute, muscle-fueling meal that tastes indulgent but keeps you lean.
This Supergreen High-Protein Pasta isn’t just another “healthy” meal—it’s a full-on flavor bomb 💣 that fuels your muscles while satisfying your taste buds. With 57g of protein per serving, this creamy, vibrant pasta uses cavolo nero, cottage cheese, and shredded chicken to pack a powerful nutritional punch—all in under 30 minutes ⏱️.
If you’re aiming for a meal that feels indulgent but keeps your macros in check, this pasta is your new go-to. The blanched cavolo nero and garlic create a deep, earthy flavor, while cottage cheese and cream cheese add silky creaminess without the heavy fat load. Tossed with shredded chicken and finished with Parmesan and lemon zest, it’s the perfect post-workout or weeknight dinner.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Strip and rinse the cavolo nero, then boil it with garlic cloves for 2 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess water.
In a blender, combine the cavolo nero, garlic, cottage cheese, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a few tablespoons of the blanching water. Blitz until smooth and creamy 💚.
Boil your fusilli until al dente, then drain.
In a mixing bowl, toss the hot pasta with your green sauce and shredded chicken. Adjust with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of chilli flakes 🌶️.

Can I use kale instead of cavolo nero?
Yes! Curly or lacinato kale works well. Just blanch it briefly to retain that bright green color and soft texture.
Can this be made vegetarian?
Absolutely—skip the chicken and toss in edamame or peas for a plant-based protein fix.
How do I make it more saucy?
Add a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water as you toss to reach your desired creaminess.
