mock alfredo

1 1/2 C. fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 C. skim milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz cooked & drained pasta of choice
1 - 2 tomatoes, peeled and diced

In blender or processor, combine cottage cheese, milk and garlic until smooth. Add flour, lemon juice, basil, mustard, salt and pepper until well blended. Pour into saucepan and heat at medium-low until thickened. Do NOT boil. Serve over pasta - topping with diced tomatoes.

Variations (not calculated): Leave out the dry mustard, and sometimes throw in 3 oz fat free cream cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a more authentic taste. The recipe may not be saucy enough for some, so you can make additional sauce as desired.

Number of Servings: 4
