Description
  This alfredo sauce is high in protein, tastes great over pasta or spaghetti squash (like I did with my 'Mac' and 'Cheese' and Avocado Pesto), and much lower in fat than traditional. Instead of butter and cream, here I'm utilizing cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt) for a delicious and creamy sauce that's much lighter than a standard alfredo
