- 8 ounces Uncooked Pasta
- 1½ cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Milk or milk substitute
- 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly Cracked Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

- 1 teaspoon Dry Oregano
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt to it. Place your uncooked pasta in the boiling water, cooking it until al dente.
- In the jar of a large blender, add in the milk, cottage cheese, grated parmesan, cornstarch, pepper, and onion powder. Blend for a minute, or until smooth.
- In a large frying pan on medium heat, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook it for a couple minutes.
- Add the blended sauce and the oregano to the frying pan and stir it around with a rubber spatula, until it starts to simmer. Let it simmer while stirring for 3-4 minutes.
- Adjust the seasoning of the sauce with salt as desired. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce to cover.
- Serve with more freshly grated parmesan and any freshly chopped herbs as desired.
- Adding a (sliced) roasted chicken breast or crumbled bacon to this pasta dish is a great way to make it a full meal.
