"After melting down the cottage cheese and cheese spread in a saucepan, she blended it and poured it over cooked brown rice pasta to make the tastiest high-protein, gluten-free meal. Top it with pepper or Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend and voila! You've got yourself peak comfort food."
"While Kate's recipe calls for one container's worth of each ingredient, one serving size of each item equals around 22+ grams of protein. To break it down, 2 tablespoons of spread and 1 cup of pasta are 4 grams of protein each, and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese is a whopping 14 grams."
"Apart from this popular Trader Joe's dip giving your mac and cheese an upgrade, there are many other ways to spice up this simple recipe. We like using other Trader Joe's dry pastas, like the Brown Rice and Quinoa Fusilli or the Red Lentil Sedanini, for extra fiber and texture."
"You can even swap out the cheddar cheese for TJ's Whipped Feta Spread, which has a nice tangy flavor. Add other protein-packed ingredients"
Brown rice penne pasta, low-fat cottage cheese, and cheddar cheese spread can be combined to create a creamy one-pot mac and cheese. Cottage cheese and cheese spread are melted together in a saucepan, blended, and poured over cooked brown rice pasta. The result is a comfort-food meal that can be topped with pepper or Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. Each serving can provide about 22+ grams of protein, with cottage cheese contributing the largest amount. The recipe can be varied by using other Trader Joe’s dry pastas such as brown rice and quinoa fusilli or red lentil sedanini, or by swapping cheddar cheese for whipped feta spread for a tangy flavor. Additional protein-packed ingredients can be added for further nutrition.
