'Skinny' Fettuccine Alfredo

12 oz (340 g) fettuccine or linguine pasta
1 cup 2 % cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I used a mozza/edam mix as I did not have parmesan)
1/4 cup milk
1tbsp. Epicure cheese, chives and bacon dip mix
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. Puree cottage cheese in food processor until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine. Add cheese mixture to drained pasta. Return to heat. Stir constantly for 1 minute. Serve immediately. I cut up chicken breasts and fried them in a frying pan and added cheese sauce to chicken instead of pasta. I served this over the pasta.

Toscana Soup

INGREDIENTS
12 links Italian pork sausage, sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup diced onion
1 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chicken broth
4 cups water
2 potatoes, cubed
2 cups sliced kale
1/3 cup heavy cream (I use 1 % milk and it works just fine)
1 tsp. Epicure Roasted Red Pepper dip mix (optional)
2 large carrots

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Place sausage links on a baking sheet and bake 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Slice into 1/2 inch slices.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent; add garlic and cook 1 minute.

Stir in broth, water, carrots, potatoes and dip mix; simmer 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and add sausage, kale and cream; simmer until heated through and serve.
