Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of fat free milk
  • 6 wedges of Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb Cheese Wedges
  • 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or freeze dried chives
  • 6 ounces Banza cavatappi

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the garlic one minute, until fragrant. Add in the milk, Laughing Cow cheese, cottage cheese, onion powder, pepper and salt. Stir to combine, breaking up the cheese as it melts.
  2. Cook the cheese mixture for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Add the cornstarch to the cheese mixture and stir well until it thickens.
  3. Serve over chickpea pasta (cavatappi is my favorite) and garnish with chives.

Notes

To reach a smoother consistency, blend all ingredients but the chives and cornstarch in a food processor, adding more milk as necessary. Then, heat it a pan for 5 to 10 minutes, add in the cornstarch, and stir until thickened.
