Cottage cheese is the not-so-secret ingredient that makes this macaroni and cheese extra rich and creamy. It’s perfect for comfort food that’s both nutritious and satisfying. One serving has nearly 20g of protein!
.
Ingredients
8oz pasta (you can use whole wheat, chickpea, or regular pasta)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (I used 4% milkfat)
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
.

Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, cornstarch, cheddar cheese, and seasonings. Blend until smooth.
Pour the cheese sauce into a skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
When the pasta is cooked, stir into the cheese sauce. Add additional seasoning to taste if desired.
