Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Good Culture cottage cheese (or sub your fav cottage cheese!)
  • 4 tbsp almond milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground pepper (optional)
  • 5-6 green onion (chopped)
  • 1 box Banza Pasta
  • Fuego Siete Chips (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Cook pasta per instructions on the box (9-11 minutes in boiling water) 
  2. While pasta is cooking, place the cottage cheese, almond milk, nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and onion in the blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Option to warm sauce up on stove (usually, if my pasta is hot, I just pour it directly on the pasta from the blender, but if I'm eating leftover pasta, I heat the sauce up first). Warm on low heat and keep your eyes on it... it heats very fast and if it's overheated, the sauce can separate (which is no big deal, just stir and let cool a bit). 
  4. Pour sauce over pasta. Top with green onion and crushed Siete Chips before serving. 

Notes

Pro tip: Sometimes Chris and I will throw in some carnitas or barbacoa... SO GOOD.
