Lemon Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce is a 5-minute, no-cook blender sauce for weeknights when you want something creamy for chicken or shrimp, but you do not want to babysit a pot. The lemon keeps the flavor bright, the parmesan makes it savory, and nobody would guess the base is cottage cheese.

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add the cottage cheese to your blender and blend it on its own until it looks smooth. This one step makes the finished sauce way creamier.
Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the sauce is completely smooth.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese on its own first for the smoothest texture. Let the blender run a little longer than you think you need. If it feels too thick, add a small splash of heavy cream and blend again. If it feels too thin, add a little more Parmesan cheese and blend. This sauce can be used right away, baked onto chicken or shrimp, or stored in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Warm gently and stir well before serving.
