Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz fettuccine
- to taste fresh parsley
- to taste extra Parmesan
Instructions
- 1Bring 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.
- 2While the pasta cooks, peel the hard‑boiled eggs and set them aside.
- 3In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, peeled hard‑boiled eggs, freshly grated Parmesan, milk, cornstarch, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- 4Blend 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.
- 5Transfer the blended sauce to a wide skillet or saucepan. Heat over medium‑low heat, aiming for a gentle simmer (around 180°F / 180°F).
- 6Stir 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.
- 7If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a silky, coat‑the‑pasta consistency.
- 8Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure every strand is evenly coated with the Alfredo sauce.
- 9Cook together for an additional 1 minute, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce and warm through.
- 10Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan over the top.
- 11Serve immediately on warmed plates, optionally adding a pinch of extra black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
