Cottage cheese and Parmesan make a blended Alfredo-style sauce for hot pasta.
Ingredients
Measure the ingredients below before you begin. Optional additions are marked in the list.
- 10 ounces of fettuccine pasta or any other kind of pasta you like
- 1 cup of cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup of cold milk
- Salt to taste
- Grated parmesan to top it off
- Fresh parsley for decoration
How to make it
Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta to al dente, according to the package directions. Don't forget to put in some salt! Add a good amount of salt to the water for the pasta to make it taste better.
Put the cottage cheese in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and butter. Put both bowls in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds on low power. Heat the garlic and butter for another 30 seconds until the butter is completely melted and bubbling. You can alternatively sauté the garlic in butter in a pan.
Put the warm cottage cheese, garlic, melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, milk, and a dash of ground black pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, mixing for 1 to 2 minutes.
Taste your Alfredo sauce and add more salt if you think it needs it.
After the pasta is done cooking, drain it and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down. Then put it back in the pot.
Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the pasta and stir it well to cover every strand. If it's too thick, add a little more milk.
Taste the dish one last time and change the seasoning if you need to.
Add more grated parmesan and fresh parsley on top for color and freshness. Enjoy your creamy, healthier Cottage Cheese Alfredo pasta while it's still warm. Serve right away.
Tips and serving
Blend until smooth and warm gently; high heat can make cottage cheese sauces separate.
