Description

Turn your favorite pesto into a high-protein sauce with this cottage cheese pesto! It’s easy to make with just a few ingredients, and no one will know it’s secretly healthy!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (I recommend Good Culture 4% or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1/4 cup spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the cottage cheese, pesto, and spinach to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Serve with your favorite pasta.

Notes

The brand of cottage cheese matters a lot. Some storebought brands are overly sour and can give the pasta a sour taste. I recommend Good Culture because it’s well-balanced with a creamy, subtle flavor.

This is enough sauce to pair with 8oz of pasta.
