- 1 cup of parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of milk or heavy whipping cream see notes

Equipment
Method
- Add the cottage cheese, parmesan, milk, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper to a food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth with no visible lumps, about 60 to 90 seconds. Scrape the sides halfway through
- Pour the blended sauce into a large skillet over medium-low heat
- Warm the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and velvety
- If a thicker sauce is preferred, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl to form a slurry. Pour into the skillet while stirring and continue over medium-low heat until the sauce reaches the thickness you want. Remove from heat once your desired consistency is reached
- Serve immediately over zucchini noodles, pasta, or your choice of protein

Notes
Adding heavy whipping cream will thicken the sauce better than milk and you may not have to use the cornstarch.
The cornstarch will thicken the sauce but be sure to keep an eye on the skillet after you add it. Remove the skillet from the heat after you have achieved your desired thickness.
