Equipment

  • blender
  • saucepan
  • mixing spoon or spatula
  • measuring cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, and minced garlic. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • Pour the sauce into a saucepan and warm it over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. Heat until the sauce is thoroughly warmed but not boiling.
  • Toss the sauce with your favorite cooked pasta, ensuring each strand is well-coated. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Adjust milk quantity for thinner sauce. For extra flavor, blend in roasted garlic or a pinch of nutmeg. Best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for 3–4 days. Avoid boiling to maintain texture.
