Cottage cheese

[Angel155]

Has anyone tried warming cottage cheese to use as a cheese sauce for cauli cheese? Is it any good?

No, but that's an idea! Wonder if you could give it a wee whizz in the blender too, to get the lumps out and make it more sauce like. I might try that. Make sure you are using the low-fat version though.

Frances, I tried it tonight............recommend it totally.

The way I did it was to cook the brocolli (didn't have any cauli) in the microwave with a little water then when done blend the cottage cheese with some of the veg water to thin it out a bit. I then put it into a small ovenproof dish and put it under the grill. It didn't brown but the cottage cheese went a bit thicker.

Never thought of that - always have it cold on a jacket spud. I make my cheese sauce with philli light with herbs and garlic or with basil x

That sounds lovely Gemstone, unfortunately none of it is allowed on CD 810.

Sorry - I'm on healthy eating so everything is allowed within reason. I'm never sure what CDers are allowed at each point but I will try the warm cottage cheese sometime x
