Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, season it generously with table salt, add the fusilli and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
2. While the pasta cooks, blend the cottage cheese, basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, garlic clove, olive oil, salt and black pepper until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Return the drained pasta to the warm pot over low heat. Pour in the cottage cheese pesto and toss gently, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the noodles are lightly coated and silky.
4. Serve right away, garnished with extra basil.
