This is the best Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo with spinach pasta ever. You can omit the Manchego and blue cheese and just leave the Parmesan cheese.
YIELD: 4-6 SERVINGS TOTAL TIME: 25 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS:
13.25 oz whole wheat linguine
1 cup cottage cheese, or low fat cream cheese
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cup unsweetened milk
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
4 oz crumbled blue cheese
3 oz Manchego cheese
8 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed out and drained
2-3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, to prevent curdling
Pepper flakes, optional
DIRECTIONS:
- Add all the ingredients, except the pasta of course and the spinach, to your food processor and process until smooth.
- Pour sauce in a non stick pan and add the chopped spinach. Over a low to medium heat, heat the sauce through for a minute or so before adding the pasta.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and heat until sauce starts to thicken and adhere to pasta, about 3-5 minutes. Add pepper flakes if using and serve.
