Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat
  • 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened, or any milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated, optional for extra flavor
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, almond milk, Parmesan (if using), Italian seasoning, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the blended sauce into the pan with the sautéed garlic. Stir well and cook over low heat for about 3–5 minutes until warmed through and slightly thickened.
  4. Taste your sauce and adjust salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as needed.
  5. Toss the sauce with high-protein pasta and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
