Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 1 cup plain cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound shrimp
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Step 1: Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Begin by gathering all necessary ingredients: fettuccine pasta, shrimp, cottage cheese, milk, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and any additional vegetables or proteins you wish to include.
This ensures you have everything on hand before you start cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Fettuccine Pasta
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente.
Once cooked, drain the pasta well and set it aside for later use.
Step 3: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, milk, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
Blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
This will form the base of your Alfredo sauce.
Step 4: Cook the Shrimp and Vegetables
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
If you are using vegetables, add them to the skillet with the shrimp and sauté until they are tender.
Step 5: Combine Sauce, Shrimp, and Vegetables
Pour the blended cottage cheese sauce into the skillet with the shrimp and vegetables.
Stir everything together until well combined, and heat through, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6: Toss with Cooked Fettuccine
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Ensure the sauce is distributed evenly throughout the pasta, shrimp, and vegetables.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Cottage Cheese Alfredo Fettuccine immediately, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy your meal!
