SAVE this high protein Alfredo sauce! Hello 👋🏻 we’re back again with another cottage cheese recipe 😬😆. This one is SO good and definitely a top two cottage cheese favorite! Here’s how to make it 👇🏻 INGREDIENTS 1 tbsp butter 1 small onion chopped 4 cloves garlic roughly minced 1/4 cup milk 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat is best 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 8 oz chickpea pasta INSTRUCTIONS Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions, usually about 6-8 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, sauté onions and garlic in butter on low-medium heat in a sauté pan for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, and the cooked onions and garlic. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain noodles and return back to the pan but do not return to heat. Let noodles cool for 3-4 minutes before pouring sauce over the noodles and then stirring to combine. *Note: To prevent the sauce from separating, it’s best to add the sauce to noodles that are not scalding hot. If the noodles aren’t warm enough after adding the sauce, return the pan to low heat and heat the noodles and sauce until warm enough to serve. Top with extra parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste and enjoy! Get this one on your grocery list asap!

Save & follow for more easy healthy meal ideas! One of the biggest requests I get is for lunch ideas, especially ones that you can pack and take with you. Sandwiches are one of the most underrated easy healthy meal ideas. This one uses whole grain bread with thin sliced grilled chicken, dijon mustard, cheddar cheese and some greens. SO simple and delicious. Next up, we’ve got sliced bell peppers with guacamole, which is such a great pairing for dipping because it’s high in healthy fats and fiber! Meal ideas don’t need to be complicated or weird to be “healthy”. What’s your go-to lunch right now?
