Ingredients

Instructions
-
In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
-
Add cottage cheese, parmesan, melted garlic butter, milk, salt, and pepper to a blender.
-
Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
-
Pour the sauce into a skillet and warm over low heat, stirring gently. Do not boil.
-
Toss with cooked pasta, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
-
Serve immediately with extra parmesan on top.
Notes
-
Blend thoroughly for the smoothest texture—this removes any cottage cheese curds.
-
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best flavor and creaminess.
-
Pasta water helps create a silky, glossy sauce.
-
Keep heat low to prevent the sauce from separating.
