Cottage Cheese Alfredo Pasta

Feb 15

Ingredients

350g of your favourite pasta noodle
3-4 garlic chicken sausages, cut into 1/2 inches — we get ours from Sunworks Farm (at the DT farmers market)
500g cottage cheese, blended until smooth
1 head of broccoli, cut into small pieces
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Salt & pepper to taste

In a large pot, cook your noodles to al dente. Oil lightly and set aside
- Note: keep 1/2 cup of your pasta water to use later on
In a large saucepan on medium-low heat, add in your butter. Let melt
Add in your diced garlic and cut up sausages. Continue to stir and flip your sausages until they are browned on each side
Now add in your broccoli. Then, add 3-4 tbsps of water into your saucepan and cover immediately. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring every ~30 seconds.
Now, add your blended up cottage cheese right into the saucepan. Stir to combine the sausages, broccoli and garlic with the cottage cheese sauce
Add in your Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper (I use a lot of pepper). Stir to combine
If your sauce is too thick, add some of your pasta water into the mixture, 1 tbsp at a time
Finally, add your pasta noodles into the sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 minutes
You’re done! Plate and enjoy, and top with more pepper and Parmesan if you’d like :)
