Make this one first.

We put the most-saved version first: Jasmine Hyare’s. A creamy, high‑protein Alfredo sauce made from cottage cheese, hard‑boiled eggs, and Parmesan. It coats fettuccine beautifully and delivers about 560 calories and 60 g of protein per serving, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying dinner.

Recipe from Jasmine Hyare, from their Instagram videoWritten down by ReelsMeals from the caption and voiceover.

  • 17 min
  • Serves 2
  • 12 ingredients

The only one of the 3 with cottage cheese, hard-boiled eggs, cornstarch and parsley.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupcottage cheese
  • 2hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/3 cupParmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cupmilk
  • 1/2 tspcornstarch

  • to tastefresh parsley
  • to tasteextra Parmesan

How it goes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 9–11 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

  2. While the pasta cooks, peel the hard‑boiled eggs and set them aside.

  3. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, peeled hard‑boiled eggs, freshly grated Parmesan, milk, cornstarch, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  4. Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.

  5. Transfer the blended sauce to a wide skillet or saucepan. Heat over medium‑low heat, aiming for a gentle simmer (around 180 °F / 82 °C).

  6. Stir the sauce continuously with a silicone spatula for 3–5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Do not let it come to a rolling boil, or the sauce may separate.

Then 5 more steps in the full recipe.

How this comparison works.

Every recipe here comes from a creator’s own video. ReelsMeals writes it down from the caption and the voiceover, and publishes it with the creator named and the original linked. When three or more versions of a dish from at least two creators are saved, the dish gets a page like this one. Reposts and the same video saved twice count once.

Times and servings come from the saved recipe cards and may be estimated. Ingredient names are matched loosely, so chicken thighs and chicken legs both count as chicken. We don’t rank them by taste: the version shown first is the one ReelsMeals cooks have saved most. Last updated 2 November 2026.
