Source: Eating Expectantly
Serves 4
“This is much tastier than it sounds! My husband and I do not like cottage cheese but we love this sauce. Try adding a clove of garlic – instead of garlic salt – to the sauce mixture before pureeing if you like a more garlicky flavor.”
Ingredients
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, preferably freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 – 1/3 cup skim evaporated milk OR fresh milk
2 dashes nutmeg
1 cup frozen peas, thawed or slightly cooked – optional
4 cups cooked pasta
1. Puree all ingredients except pasta and peas in food processor or blender.
2. Pour into microwave-safe container and cook on medium-high for 2 minutes, or on stovetop on low until warm.
3. Toss pasta with peas. Pour sauce over pasta, garnish with more Parmesan cheese.
