Instructions
To begin, cook the pasta. Boil a pot of water, pour in the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, bring another large pot of water to boil and add the cauliflower florets. Cook until the cauliflower is soft and tender, then drain and set aside to cool.
In a blender, add the milk, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, rosemary, cauliflower, salt and pepper.
Blend it on high until it is very smooth and creamy. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Once fully cooked, add the pasta to the sauce and stir well until fully combined.
Your delicious yet healthy pasta dish is now ready. To store leftovers, do not add any pasta to the sauce you wish to keep. Place the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge.
