Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce

Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce

White pasta sauce, like alfredo, can pack in the calories and help you pack on the pounds. Give a lower calorie version a try by using cottage cheese as the main ingredient. Just make sure to buy low sodium cottage cheese (5% or less) for a healthier sauce.
