Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz short pasta
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup reserved pasta water
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.
  2. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then reserve ¼ cup water and drain.
  3. Return the pasta to the pot, add the blended sauce and reserved water, toss until creamy, and serve with Parmesan and black pepper.

Notes

Let the cottage cheese sit out for 10 minutes or add the reserved pasta water while blending if the sauce feels too cold. This pasta is at its best right after you toss it.
