Creamy High Protein Cottage Cheese Mac & Cheese

0 Boil water and cook pasta according to package directions until pasta is al dente. Drain and set aside.
1 Make the cheese sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, milk, arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) & seasonings, minus the red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2 Melt butter & combine pasta. In a large pan over medium heat, melt 1–2 tablespoons of butter. Add cooked pasta and pour the cheese sauce over top.
3 Stir gently over medium-low heat until warmed through and thickened slightly.
4 Garnish & serve. Top with red pepper flakes and serve hot! You can also sprinkle with fresh parsley or a drizzle of hot honey if desired.
