Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 1 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and black pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, almond milk, and garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a medium saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and stir until heated through. Add in the grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Add the drained fettuccine to the saucepan and toss gently to coat every piece with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
- Plate your High Protein Alfredo immediately while it’s warm. Optional: Sprinkle additional Parmesan or nutmeg on top.
Notes
- Feel free to swap fettuccine for your favorite pasta.
- Substitute garlic powder with fresh garlic for more flavor.
- Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer taste.
