One Pot High Protein Cottage Cheese Pasta (Mac 'n' Cheese)
Indulge in a creamy and protein-packed pasta dish, done all in one pot, and with the secret ingredient: Cottage Cheese!
Equipment
- 1 large non-stick pan (ie. Always Pan)
- 1 blender or food processor
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
Instructions
- 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.
- While it's cooking, empty the entire contents of the cottage cheese into a blender of food processor and blend until smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve and enjoy!
