3 INGREDIENT COTTAGE CHEESE WAFFLES
Why This Sauce is So Easy and Tasty
This sauce needs only a few ingredients and takes little effort to make. The cottage cheese blends smoothly with the pasta sauce, creating a creamy texture without using heavy cream. Plus, it’s high in protein and works in many dishes!
How to Use Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce
This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be used in many ways:
- Traditional pasta dish: Toss it with cooked pasta for an easy weeknight meal.
- Lasagna or baked pasta: Use it as a creamy layer in baked dishes.
- Dipping sauce: Perfect for breadsticks or roasted veggies.
- Pizza base: Spread it on a pizza crust instead of regular tomato sauce for a protein boost.
How to Store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Keep it cold since it has dairy.
To keep it longer, freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge before reheating.
How to Reheat
- Stovetop: Heat in a saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring often. Don’t overheat to avoid curdling.
- Microwave: Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until warm.
- Baked dishes: If using in baked pasta or lasagna, just bake as usual without preheating the sauce.
