Creamy Cottage Cheese Basil Pasta

This one-pot pasta marries the vivid herbaceousness of pesto with the creaminess of Alfredo. Instead of heavy cream, however, this pasta’s silkiness comes from blending cottage cheese with plenty of Parmesan. You’ll want to use a high-speed blender or food processor to whirl the cheeses and greens into a smooth and glossy sauce, and if you have a scale, use it to make quick work of measuring the sauce’s ingredients.
