Tips
- Store everything frozen - no need to thaw, just toss in the microwave with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 3-5 mins until heated through. Add more liquid to reconstitute the sauce/increase creaminess.
- Make sure to blend the cottage cheese for 2-3 mins to ensure it’s completely smooth all the way through - heating up slightly in the microwave can help with the process.
