Bone Broth - *Optionally use Bone Broth to make your Pasta (adds flavor/protein)

1 Cup Cottage Cheese - Fat Free, Reduced Fat, or Full Fat

5 Ounces Cheddar Cheese - Fat Free, Reduced Fat, or Full Fat

1 Cup Milk - or Milk Substitute (Fat Free, Reduced Fat, or Full Fat)

1 1/2 Tablespoons Corn Starch

1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Mustard

1/2 Teaspoon Paprika - Smoked Preferred

1/4 Teaspoon Onion Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

12 Ounces Protein - *Cooked (Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Tuna, etc)


Directions:

This delicious, creamy, and high protein **Easy Cottage Cheese Mac and Cheese** meal prep recipe is super easy to make!

Start this one by taking out a stove top pan and making 10 ounces of pasta

A quick tip here- Make your pasta *taste even better* and **add more protein** to it by using some low sodium bone broth instead of water!

While that’s cooking take out a blender **or** food processor. Add into it 1 cup of cottage cheese, 5 ounces of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of milk, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of corn starch. This is your **base** and everything else I’m using is *optional*.

My *optional* but **preferred ingredients** for the ultimate flavor? That would be 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of **smoked** paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of onion salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Blend or process all of those together **until smooth**. Pour that mix into a large saucepan and turn your burner on **low heat**. Make sure the pan you’re using is large enough to also hold your cooked pasta in it!

Let that mix cook for a **couple minutes** or until it starts to thicken up, try to keep it moving as it heats up.

Once it thickens up mix in your pasta and continue by adding in *anything else you want*.

Without anything else added in, the macros are still pretty good (see below). You can make them even better by using a **higher** protein pasta like one made with chickpeas, lentils, etc.
