Tips
- Any cottage cheese will work; the more fat it has, the creamier your alfredo will be
- You can maximize protein by using higher protein milk
- Fresh block of parmesan gives the best results
- Low and slow is key. If it is too hot, you could ruin your sauce
- Reheat in the microwave for 45 seconds, mix it around, and repeat until it is hot
- To reheat on the stove top, add a little milk and reheat it over low heat
