A delightful fusion of creamy mac and cheese with a nutritious twist from cottage cheese, offering warmth and joy without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Once they’re perfectly al dente, drain and set them aside while we whip up that creamy sauce!
  2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, milk, and garlic powder to the pot. Cook until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan until they melt completely, creating a creamy sauce.
  5. Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, stirring until every piece is coated.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Serve your creamy, protein-packed mac and cheese while it’s warm.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding cooked bacon or sautéed veggies like broccoli. Substitute elbow macaroni with cauliflower or whole grain pasta to reduce carbs.
