Ingredients

7 oz (200 g) fettuccine
1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese, (I used low-fat)
½ cup (120 ml) milk, (I used high-protein soy milk)
¼ cup (20 g) grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt, or more
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Instructions

Pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salt water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta through a colander.
Pasta Sauce: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. (I like to use my immersion blender for this).
Pour the sauce into a large skillet, add the cooked pasta, and a splash of reserved pasta cooking water. Toss well over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add more pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Enjoy topped with fresh parsley!

Notes

Store & Reheat Properly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess, or reheat in the microwave.
