I have to say, as someone who does not like cottage cheese at all, this recipe was a HIT! The sauce tasted exactly like Alfredo, and my kids loved it and finished every bite. I used 2 tsp chopped garlic (the kind in a jar) and I freshly grated the parm. I omitted the chives and peas because I wasn't sure the kids would be a fan, and used bow tie pasta instead. Highly recommend this quick, easy, and delicious recipe!!
