Ingredients
- 8 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, divided
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp garlic parsley salt adjust to preference
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, blend the cottage cheese, milk, 2/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic and garlic parsley salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Return the cooked pasta to the pot and pour in the prepared sauce. Add an additional 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and toss over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta evenly.
- Top the pasta with a generous sprinkle of extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!
