Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Cottage Cheese Alfredo:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, chicken or vegetable broth, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Blend the Sauce: Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Heat the Sauce: In a pan over medium heat, pour the blended sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If necessary, add additional pasta water to make it creamier.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve in bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley and more Parmesan cheese if desired.
