This creamy and healthy Alfredo sauce is made with blended cottage cheese, garlic, chicken broth, and parmesan. A healthy and easy sauce recipe ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (4%)
- ¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 3 Tbsp chicken broth or more as needed
- 1 tablespoon salted butter melted in a microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, chicken broth, melted butter, onion powder and garlic to a blender. Blend until smooth and pourable. Add more broth 1 tablespoon at a time if needed. Taste one bite of the sauce and add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over warm pasta, zucchini noodles, or spaghetti squash. Enjoy!
Notes
- We recommend using 4% cottage cheese or higher, lower fat varieties can separate and curdle when heated.
- If you'r using pasta, let it cool for a few minutes before combining it with the sauce. High heat can also cause the sauce to separate. Serve immediately.
