Creamy High-Protein Cottage Cheese Alfredo Pasta
Indulge in a luscious twist on classic Alfredo sauce by blending low-fat cottage cheese into a velvety, protein-packed sauce. This pasta dish features whole wheat noodles enveloped in a creamy, savory dressing with a touch of garlic and spinach, finished with a sprinkle of aged Parmesan for an elevated flavor profile.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a tiny splash of water or cooking spray just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, sautéed garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Return the pasta to the pot on low heat. Stir in the creamy cottage cheese sauce and add the baby spinach. Gently cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts and the sauce is heated through.
Remove from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, and enjoy a high-protein creamy pasta meal.
