Let me know if you try the pasta! Also, if you enjoy the video and feel inspired to hit that thumbs up sign, I’d greatly appreciate it!
dinner tonight!!!!!!!
@@pamelamarie4930 hooray! I hope you enjoy 😊
Gonna try this sauce with shrimp, peas and spaghetti squash instead of pasta!!
That sounds awesome. Let me know how it goes!
I'm doing low carb. Made this tonight with hearts of palm pasta . Used low fat cottage cheese, added shrimp, and a few spritz of I can't believe it's not butter spray with the parm. The sauce itself reminded me of olive garden. ITS THAT GOOD!!! Thank you!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed!
Southern Italians have been doing this recipe with Ricotta Cheese, without the peas, for forever! It’s called Pasta Ricotta, and it pairs beautifully with whole wheat pasta and a nice salad! By the way, so much salt!
My thought about the salt too! Thanks for info about ricotta, definitely going to try that out! 👌
Lovely! 😊
The peas amp up the protein count.
Salt is amazing!
If you decide to try this dish just remember to spoon some ricotta cheese into a saucepan and heat very slowly by diluting with some milk… Do not bring this mixture to a boil because you curdle the ricotta cheese! Also, when you drain the pasta, put a little pasta water aside in case you have to moisten things a bit more. I prefer to garnish with Romano cheese, but either Romano or Parmesan is OK, according to your preference.
My Italian grandmother used cottage cheese in her amazing lasagna also hardboiled eggs slices with italian sausages cut in small slices and layerd them. It was the best.
Oh wow, that sounds so good!
Excellent recipe. I am from India and we use cottage cheese a lot in our cuisine, specially in North India. Although I did not put parmesan cheese. But it was very tasty, I put lot of chilly flakes and capsicum instead of peas. It was melting in the mouth. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Thank you so much for your comment, and I love how you adapted the recipe to your tastes. So glad you enjoyed!
Add chives, 1/2 tsp. Dash of nutmeg too. Fabulous!
Love it!
I was very skeptical until I made it, it's super delicious and easy to make, not to mention how much healthier it is. Thank you for this amazing recipe!
I'm so happy to hear this. Thank you for sharing!
This sounds delicious! I'm going to make this using Keto Cottage Cheese and Miracle Noodles!
I can't wait to try this with my Lactaid cottage cheese. I'm lactose intolerant so my favorite Alfredo usually is usually off limits. So excited. !!!!
I hope you enjoy! I haven't tested the recipe with that brand of cottage cheese, so let me know how it turns out!
Pro tips: a teensy bit of sugar tones down the tartness if your batch is too strong. Add a lot basil or herb it tastes good and it makes it visually much more appealing. Black pepper chicken added for the win. Even better macros and pairs amazingly.
Fantastic! To add protein you could throw some chicken or salmon in or use organic Pulse Pasta.
I made this tonight. The kids love cottage cheese and noodles so this was a perfect dinner for them. Thanks!
I'm so happy to hear!! Thank you for sharing 🥰
This is the perfect dinner for some adults too!
Yay🎉 finally something I can eat that is one of my sons favourites
Fabulous! So happy to hear, and thank you for sharing!
I am going to try this.
Thank you so much beautiful sister! I would never have thought of this but Gid willing will try ,God bless you.
Its not fair that I am watching this video while not having cottage cheese in my house lol!! Looks absolutely amazing and I am sure the frozen peas give it a great touch. Will definitely report back on when I try it next week :)
haha, I think it's a sign!! I hope you enjoy, Shawn!
I tried this recipe again but with regular cottage cheese. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!
Hooray! I’m so happy to hear. 😊
Yummy recipe. Avocado is a nice addition here too. If your avocado is soft enough it can actually blend right into this sauce.
I love that tip!
Thanks for sharing! ❤ love this idea!!!

Hooray! I hope you enjoy 😊
Very tasty! Family loved it, and very filling and best of all healthy!

Wonderful! I too am from midwest (dairy country) and much prefer cottage cheese over ricotta (always sub in lasagna) and had not considered it for alfredo but certainly will now!
Woohoo! I hope you enjoy 😊
Yum....new to your channel and I'm going to make this! Thank you.

This recipe looks just so delicious! 😱😱😍😍😍
Thank you!! 😊
Did it and liked it. Thanks
So glad to hear!!
I made it... It was delicious. Thank you 😘
I'm so happy to hear!!
I never thought to blend cottage cheese but that sounds amazing, I can think of a few things to use it in, it would probably be really good in tuna or chicken salad or as a substitute for cream cheese. I’m actually lactose intolerant and I found lactose free cottage cheese but not cream cheese, it could work.
I liked it, and I subscribed. ❤ Thank you for the great recipe! I will use chickpea pasta and a lot less salt, which I adore, but Dr's orders. I'm on a very limited salt way of eating. Salt hardens the arteries of the heart and neck. Darn it. I'm so looking forward to making this! Thank you!
I hope you enjoy!
No, salt is good. We've been lied to, so go low carb and blood pressure will go down by half. You will have to add a lot of salt once you go low carb/keto, especially if you fast. The carbs turn into plaque. Also calcium supplements harden in the arteries. I've been keto for 10 years. Reversed diabetes. Your doctor knows nothing of this because if they don't follow the pharmaceutical industry's protocols, they can lose their license. Start doing your own homework. Read medical journal's and pubmed studies. Good luck.
Great idea. working on it as i type.
That takes skill. 😂I hope you enjoy!
Omg….saving and making!❤
I hope you enjoy!
I will be trying this for lunch 😀
I hope you enjoy!
This was DELICIOUS!!! I added avocado and chives into the blender with the cottage cheese and garlic and MMMM delicious!!!
So glad you enjoyed, and love the avocado addition!!
Yum
Oooh gonna try this with broccoli as my dd doesn't like peas...looks delicious!
We love it with broccoli! I hope you enjoy, and keep me posted ☺️
I saved this and will be attempting this recipe here soon with my wife. I will not be telling her it’s made with cottage cheese till after.
Awesome video, and thank you!
Haha, I can’t wait to hear how it goes!! Hope you both enjoy. 😊
My dad made this similar while I was growing up but he caramelized diced onion in butter and added the cottage cheese as is to the cooked spaghetti with it.
That sounds so good! I love that this recipe can be adapted in so many ways. Going to try the caramelized onions!
Cottage cheese is also good in scrambled eggs.
Looked so delicious, that I just made this for dinner!
Did anyone else have an issue with the sauce seizing up?
I used regular (4%) cottage cheese, blended smooth, for the sauce. It sort of “curdled”, and never became creamy.
Perhaps the pasta was too hot?? I added it just as soon as it was drained; as in the video.
So cool! I just chanced upon this and have subscribed. Will try using this as a sauce base for white fish too ... would that work? Can you heat it in a saucepan?
Thank You for this recipe!! I love alfredo but it doesn’t love me back. 😞 I’m going to try this in the next week!!! 👍🏻
Hi Amy, I hope you enjoy the pasta!!
It's really very delicious very tasty very energetic thanks alot for sharing this wonderful recipe Weldone 👍 You are a God's given very special very talented very sweet stunningly beautiful brilliant lady and your all recipes are amazing and unique just like you I'm wishing you alot of success and smiles in all the walks of your life Stay blessed Stay blessed ❤
I make this and it is amszing.
I'm so happy to hear!!
Maybe add some nutmeg?? Usually there is nutmeg in alfredto
Going to hopefully try this soon. Us Midwesterners (St. Louis) love our cottage cheese, but I’m going to substitute broccoli for the peas…
I'm from the Midwest too (IL) so I'm with you! Broccoli is a fantastic swap for the peas. I hope you enjoy!
Yummmm
😊
Ooooh how yummy, thanks so much for sharing this recipe
Thanks for tuning in!!
I made this for dinner tonight. Very good, but I forgot to add the Parmesan cheese. Lol
I will definitely make it again and even add parm. Lol
Hi Deborah, thanks for your comment and I’m so happy you enjoyed (even without the Parmesan 😂)!
🤔🙂 looks interesting I will have to give this one a try👍
I hope you enjoy, and keep me posted!
This was so delicious 😋 and I loved it bc it didn't spike my blood sugar like normal spaghetti and sauce does so now I don't have to give up my 💕 for pasta thank you girl! 😊
@@butterflyaway1_gurl352 hooray!! so glad you enjoyed.
Agree cottage cheese back😋
Right?! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing - just ran across this. My granddaughter is gluten free so I was wondering what pasta you used? Trying to find a better tasting GF pasta for her!
Hi there! I use Jovial or Andean Dream brand, which are pretty good!
Thank you! I subscribed but saw you haven’t made any videos for a while. Sure wish you would do some more healthy recipe videos!
Thank you. I couldn't find sour cream so I looked at the cottage cheese and wondered.
Love this!!! Was just thinking I should use cottage cheese to make some alfredo sauce 😍
Awesome! I hope you enjoy!
Cottage cheese is amazing when it's heated up, I think people forget it's still a cheese. It's amazing
Agreed!!
Doing weight watchers and cottage cheese no fat is zero points as is peas going to definitely going to try this 3:17
oooh yummy! I'm going to try this with some yummy roasted veggies mixed in! and being pregnant, obviously making sure the cottage cheese is pasteurised.
I love the idea of adding roasted veggies. 😋 I hope you enjoy; keep me posted!
Girlllllllll I did mine with macaroni. Ahhhhhhhh it's so freaking good. I still put a little butter and salt and a teaspoon of mustard powder. Ommfg
YAYYY! I'm so happy you enjoyed, and that's a great tip about adding a bit of mustard powder!
Ooooiweeeee I'm doing this with my cottage cheese. Thank u. Will report back
I hope you enjoy, and keep me posted!
You didn’t report back?
N basil or the green carrots leaves n some garlics mmmmm
Mmmm...
It's delicious, although I was skeptical at first because I'm not used to cottage cheese. 😍
Haha, so glad you enjoyed!!
Hi, hope you can help..I've tried using cottage cheese (4% small curd) in other pasta recipes, it tends to gets stringy & chewy and not very appetizing--I'd like to try your recipe but dont want to waste any more food (!) Any advice on what I may be doing wrong?? Thanks so much
Hi there! Since this sauce is pureed and isn't cooked (it is warmed simply by the heat of the cooked pasta), the cottage cheese stays creamy, not stringy at all. I do recommend using a regular curd (not small curd, which sometimes has less liquid). I hope this helps, and please keep me posted!
@@FromScratchFast Hi, its now evening of enjoying your AMAZING alfredo and you are right, it did stay creamy & smooth. I only had small curd which was why I was looking to make a recipe, so even that worked out well. Only used about 1/4 cup pasta water. However, do not do as I did...4 fat cloves of garlic in 10oz of cottage cheese turned out to be a bit much and I love garlic. Overall, this is a great recipe and highly recommended!!
@@rachs57 I'm so glad it worked out, and that's great to hear about the small curd cottage cheese! (And at least there will be NO vampires in your house today 😂)
how would i be able to incorporate chicken or a meat source into this?
I often toss shredded rotisserie chicken into the pasta when I add the sauce (or you can sauté diced chicken then add it). I hope you enjoy!
If you roasted the garlic in step 1, before processing it, would it end up being too overpowering? I'll probably try this next time i make pasta.
Granted, doing that would make it wayxless "fas and easy."
I think roasted garlic in this would be delicious. I suggest adding just a clove or two, processing them into the sauce, then giving it a taste. If you think it needs more, trust your palate and go for it! I hope you enjoy!
Gotta throw Parmesan into that sauce
What brand of GF pasta did you use?
I use Jovial brand!
Can we use paneer instead of cottage cheese?
I do think a creamy style paneer would work, although I haven’t tested it. Keep me posted!
@@FromScratchFast what's paneer?
Looks great !! I love pasta, but it kicks my diabetes into high gear. Would love to see some more cottage cheese recipes. Great video !!👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!
Maybe use rice noodles from Chinese Market
Maybe try Palmini noodles, they are made from hearts of palm.
Maybe zoodles are an option
I make it with zoodles - spiralised zucchini or courgette noodles. Just add them into the sauce to warm through. No need to cook it first.
Large curd gives a better mouthfeel!
ரொம்ப நல்லா இருக்கிறது
Don’t think you need added salt. Cottage cheese and Parmesan r both loaded with salt. Not for low sodium diets.
You apparently need less salt, not everyone else. Go low carb, your high blood pressure will go down by half or more.
Has anyone tried it with low fat cottage cheese?
Hi there! I don't recommend using low fat cottage cheese, as it can break and turn grainy when you add the hot pasta.
@@FromScratchFast ok thanks so much!
WILL I BE ABLE TO USE ELBOWS?
Yes! You can use any shape pasta you like. I hope you enjoy! 😊
That’s a lot of salt!
I think I will try this but add some chicken breast pieces to it.
I used low fat cottage cheese and it didn't work. The cottage cheese became a liquid. I wish she had mentioned this is the video :(
I'm sorry you missed that! I do clearly note in the recipe at the link in the description that you can't use low-fat cottage cheese.
