Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 8 ounces high-protein pasta
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup pasta water, reserved
- 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken cubes and sauté them in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and fully cooked.
- Boil the protein pasta according to the package directions, ensuring you save a splash of the starchy cooking water before draining.
- Blend the cottage cheese, parmesan, and minced garlic together until the texture is silky.
- Combine the cooked pasta, chicken, and blended sauce in a pan, adding the reserved pasta water gradually to reach your desired creaminess.
- Warm the mixture through for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the sauce from breaking, then serve in bowls.
Notes

- Use a blender or food processor for smooth sauce texture.
