Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk (any type)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, milk, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) into a blender or food processor.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour the blended sauce into the saucepan.
- Heat the sauce gently for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is warmed through. Do not boil.
- Serve immediately over your favorite cooked pasta or vegetables.
Notes
- For the smoothest sauce, use a high-speed blender. If using a standard blender, let the cottage cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before blending.
- If the sauce is too thick after heating, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- This sauce pairs well with chicken, broccoli, or zucchini noodles.
