INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz whole wheat pasta
- 4 cup bone broth low sodium
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup low fat milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan freshly grated
- freshly chopped Parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add 8 ounces whole wheat pasta to a saucepan. Pour in 4 cups bone broth, low sodium (optional) and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside. (Use salted water instead of bone broth if preferred.)
- Add 1 cups cottage cheese, 0.5 cups low fat milk, 1 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoons dried oregano, 0.3 teaspoons salt, or to taste, and 0.3 teaspoons black pepper, or to taste into a blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended sauce into a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the drained pasta and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and clings to the pasta.
- Remove from heat. Top with 0.3 cups parmesan, freshly grated and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish). Serve immediately.
