Instructions

Boil linguine in salted water until just past al dente, about 9-11 minutes, and reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Blend cottage cheese, Parmesan, half and half, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Warm the blended sauce in a skillet over medium heat until the Parmesan melts and the sauce is creamy.
Toss the drained linguine with the warm sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired consistency.
Serve with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap half and half with whole milk or a dairy-free alternative.
To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Fresh herbs like basil or a squeeze of lemon juice can elevate flavors in the dish.
