Blend cottage cheese, milk, and grated parmesan cheese in a blender until mostly smooth.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic over medium low heat for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the blended cottage cheese mixture, simmer gently and stir to melt the cheeses. Reduce heat to low.
Mix in salt, cornstarch, and nutritional yeast (if used) and whisk until the sauce thickens.
Add cooked pasta to the sauce, stir to combine. Adjust thickness with more milk or pasta water if necessary.
Serve with extra parmesan, black pepper, and parsley for garnish.
