Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese

  • 1 ½ cups evaporated milk

  • 3 ½ ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic

  • 1 pinch ground white pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Add cottage cheese and evaporated milk to the jar of a Vitamix blender (or other high-powered blender); blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.

  2. Pour cottage cheese mixture into a sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese. garlic, and white pepper. Cook, stirring often, until sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes; stir in parsley.

Cook's Notes:

I use a Vitamix® blender; results for other blenders may vary.

Serve on pasta of your choice, or use with other recipes that incorporate Alfredo sauce.
