Cottage cheese has been having a moment, but if you’re still on the fence about it, this light and impossibly creamy pasta is the best introduction. (And if you already love cottage cheese, this will be right up your alley.)
Give the cheese a whirl in the food processor with grated Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, and a couple cloves of garlic. Then toss with short curly pasta, along with a couple of handfuls of baby spinach, arugula, or peas if you like, for a super creamy, quick, and simple dinner that’s big on flavor.
The Best Pasta for Cottage Cheese Pasta
Save the long strands for bucatini or spaghetti for cacio e pepe or meat sauce, and instead grab a package of short-cut pasta for this recipe. I love how this thick, creamy sauce collects in the nooks and corkscrews of shapes like fusilli and cavatappi.
