blender

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.
