EXTRA CREAMY HIGH PROTEIN MAC N CHEESE

 EXTRA CREAMY HIGH PROTEIN MAC N CHEESE

6 ounces pasta (1 3/4 cups)

½ cup whipped whole milk cottage cheese 

2-4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated (½-1 cup)

Add pasta to pot or skillet and add just enough water to cover. Add a pinch of salt; bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is almost al dente, about 6 minutes (or 1 minute less than package directions for al dente).

Add cottage cheese, return to a boil, then add cheddar (I used 2 oz but it can handle more!). Lower the heat, cook until creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and lots of black pepper. Serves 2.
