Ingredients:
1 box of your favorite macaroni
Sauce:
1 ½ cups of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
2 cups of cheddar cheese - shredded
16 oz. of cottage cheese
4 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of scallions - coarsely chopped
Healthy handful of cilantro
2 grilled Jalapeños - chopped with seeds
2 vine ripe tomatoes - quartered
Dashes of ground cumin
Dashes of garlic pepper
Dashes of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Olive oil for drizzling
Lime juice for garnish
In a food processor place the garlic, scallions, tomatoes, Jalapeños and cilantro and give a few good chops. Heat a saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil and add the chopped veggies from the food processor. Add the seasonings.
Let the veggies sauté, while placing the cottage in the food processor and give a few good chops until the cottage cheese is smooth. Add the cottage cheese to the sautéing veggies along with the milk and butter and continue to simmer on medium - low heat.
Drain and add the macaroni to the sauce, along with the cedar cheese and stir.
Garnish each serving with a drizzle of lime juice.

Pasta ... and cheese ... two of the best things in life! I love any kind of cheesy pasta dish - it always seems so hearty and comforting. Love the addition of coriander (or cilantro as you folks call it) too!
