Cottage Cheese Alfredo with Fettuccine
Pan-seared chicken breast and whole wheat fettuccine tossed in a velvety, high-protein cottage cheese alfredo sauce infused with roasted garlic.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 oz whole wheat fettuccine
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked, then set aside to rest before slicing.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder until completely smooth.
Mince the garlic clove and sauté it in the same skillet used for the chicken over low heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to low and pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to warm through without boiling.
Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
