Notes
- If you are making spinach and cottage cheese sauce to go with pasta, you can use the pasta water to thin the sauce which adds extra creaminess. Leave the water to cool for a few seconds so that it is not boiling hot when you add it to the cottage cheese.
- Add fresh herbs to vary the flavour of the sauce. Basil and chives are both good options.
- Vary the seasonings to suit with a squeeze of lemon juice or a little grated nutmeg, which complements the flavour of spinach. You could also add garlic or onion powder.
