Cottage Cheese “Alfredo”

Say what??!!!

High protein and low fat sauce that is actually good for you!!!

I looovvveee italian food, but being GF and not being able to tolerate much dairy, creamy pasta dishes are a no go for me…

I have created this sauce and let me tell you its better than @ a restaurant and sooo much healthier for you!

RECIPE:

• 2 cups low sodium chicken broth (I used Trader Joe’s)

• 1 container (2 cups) cottage cheese (I used lactaid brand) or can use any 1-2% you prefer. 

• 4 tablespoons greek yogurt whipped cream cheese

• Spoonful of minced garlic, shakes of pink salt

Blend ingredients on HIGH in a blender than once that is blended, sauté 1 diced shallot, juice of half a lemon, minced garlic in avocado oil spray until it browns…

Then add the blended sauce into the skillet and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes- this thickens the mixture a little bit! 

Keep stirring so it doesn’t burn… if you want to add in a sprinkle of cheese or nutritional yeast (for dairy free) then this is when you would!

Last week I had this for about 4 nights in a row because it was so rich and creamy! I served it with roasted spaghetti squash, air fried broccoli/ cauliflower/ onions and sautéed mushrooms!

I divided it into 4 servings- about 1/2 cup each
