INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup cooked Butternut Squash cubes
0.75 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
0.25 cup Shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
0.25 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam or roast the cubed butternut squash until tender. If roasting, toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 400°F for about 25 minutes.
In a blender, combine the cooked butternut squash, low-fat cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to form a creamy sauce.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the butternut squash sauce and warm for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the creamy sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over the pasta and stir until just melted.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed and serve immediately.
