Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Gently add salmon to the skillet and cook until done. If canned, heat for 2-3 minutes.

Reduce heat and stir in cottage cheese. Allow to melt into a creamy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.

Fold in cooked pasta and frozen peas, stirring gently to coat each piece in the sauce.

Season with fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
