Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the blended cottage cheese mixture to the skillet and stir to warm through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Season with red pepper flakes, additional salt, and pepper to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
