How to Prepare Cottage Cheese Alfredo
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta of choice and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of non-fat milk, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, pour in the blended sauce. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the drained pasta to the saucepan, tossing to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce. Make sure every piece of pasta is enveloped in that luscious Cottage Cheese Alfredo sauce.
- Once combined, serve immediately. You can garnish with extra parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for an added touch. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Cottage Cheese Alfredo!
