Creamy Pasta with Florets image

Cottage cheese is the surprising base for the wonderfully creamy sauce that coats the pasta and veggies in this side dish. My husband, who doesn't like to compromise good taste for low-fat foods, didn't even realize this recipe was lower in fat. -Barbara Toher, Lexington, Kentucky

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

This recipe was good, but I found the sauce to be a little too heavy. I would recommend using less cream next time.
