Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, cornstarch, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to low and pour in the blended sauce. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Do not boil.
  • Stir in lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm over pasta, roasted vegetables, or use as a white sauce for pizza.

Notes

  • If using non-dairy milk, opt for a neutral-flavored one, like oat or cashew.
  • Sauce thickens as it cools. Add a splash of milk to loosen when reheating.
