🧂 Ingredients

1 tub 2% fat Cottage Cheese

250g
16 oz pasta of your choice
4 cups water

roughly (you'll need to adjust based on your pasta shape and pot size)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, crumbled
1 cup cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese

optional
3/4 cup edamame

or peas or other veggies of your choice
salt

to taste
pepper

to taste

1 In your pot or Always Pan, add in your dry pasta and add enough water to
submerge the pasta but little enough to have it eventually evaporate. You should
use roughly half the amount of water you usually do.
2 While it's cooking, empty the entire contents of the cottage cheese into a
blender of food processor and blend until smooth.
3 When pasta is 70% cooked and still very al dente, check if most of the water has
evaporated. If not, drain until there is about 1 cup of water left in the pot.
4 Add in your whipped cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar/mozzarella cheese,
and veggies. Mix until well combined and cheese is smooth and completely melted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5 Serve and enjoy!
