\nInstructions<\/h3>\n
\n\n
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid (don\u2019t forget!), then drain.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\nIn a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, and garlic. Blend until smooth.<\/span><\/div>\n![\"Cottage](\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Make-Cottage-Cheese-Alfredo-Sauce-768x512.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/li>\nPour the cottage cheese sauce into a wide skillet. Add the noodles, tossing to warm gently over low, and thinning with the reserved pasta water if needed. Do not overheat the sauce or it will tighten up and curdle.<\/span><\/div>\n![\"Tongs](\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Cottage-Cheese-Alfredo-Sauce-3-768x512.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/li>\nTaste and add salt as needed (different brands of cottage cheese are saltier than others; you may not need any). Top with cracked black pepper and parsley. Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmesan to taste.<\/span><\/div>\n![\"Pouring](\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Cottage-Cheese-Alfredo-Sauce-4-768x512.jpg\")
