Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese I like to use Good Culture 2%
  • 1 cup milk I used Fairlife milk for added protein, but almond milk works, too
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 12 oz gluten free pasta I used Jovial Foods Tagliatelle

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients in a high speed blender.
  • Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the sauce into a large skillet.
  • Add the cooked pasta. Turn on the heat (after adding the pasta) and set it to medium low. Toss the pasta with the sauce for 2-3 minutes. It will thicken as you toss it. Enjoy topped with fresh parsley!
