A creamy, healthier twist on traditional Alfredo pasta made with cottage cheese and Parmesan for a rich, velvety sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup milk (or as needed)
  • Pasta of your choice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
  2. Adjust Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add milk a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
  3. Cook the Pasta: While the sauce is blending, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
  4. Drain and Prepare: Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, ready for the creamy sauce.
  5. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Pour the cottage cheese Alfredo sauce over the pasta and stir to combine, ensuring every strand is coated in that creamy goodness.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired for that extra touch of deliciousness.

Notes

Make sure to blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth texture; use an immersion blender for a convenient option. Experiment with pasta types for more variety.
