Directions

  1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in your ground beef. Cook until no longer pink, breaking it up in the process.

  3. For your alfredo sauce, in a blender or food processor, add your cottage cheese, milk, grated parmesan, and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth and then set aside.
  4. Cook your pasta according to the package directions. When done, strain it and set aside.
  5. Grab a 9x13 casserole dish and add your pasta. Pour your alfredo sauce on top, mix well, and spread out evenly.
  6. Add your meat sauce on top of your pasta and spread out evenly.
  7. Top with your shredded cheese, and place in the oven on 350F for 10-15 minutes or until your cheese is melted.
  8. When done, remove from the oven, give it a taste, and add salt and pepper to preference.
