Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions, about 2-3 minutes for fresh pasta or 8-10 minutes for dried. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds, being careful not to burn.
Transfer the garlic butter to a blender. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the blended sauce back into the skillet. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until warmed through and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Add a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to adjust the consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine and toss until evenly coated in the creamy cottage cheese alfredo sauce. Serve warm with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

You can use any type of pasta you prefer, such as penne or spaghetti.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic depending on your personal taste.
Adding vegetables like spinach or broccoli can enhance the nutritional value.
