Why this works

A hearty, energy-dense pasta bake with good protein, but also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium from the sausages and cheese.

Protein from sausage and cottage cheese. Provides a useful protein hit for satiety and muscle maintenance, with cottage cheese adding extra protein for relatively few calories.

Calcium from dairy. Cheese, milk and cottage cheese contribute calcium for bone health, though they also increase saturated fat.

Sodium concern. Cooked sausages, cheese and added salt can make this dish quite high in sodium, which may be less suitable for those watching blood pressure.

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5).
Slice the cooked sausages and chop the onions finely.
Warm the margarine in a pan, cook the onions for 8 minutes until soft, then stir in the sweetcorn and sliced sausages.
Mix the cottage cheese with milk, half the cheese, salt and black pepper to make a creamy sauce.
Combine the sausage mixture with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish.
Scatter over the remaining cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
