Preparation

While the water is warming, prepare the sauce. In a blender, combine: cottage cheese, tomato sauce, freshly grated aged cheddar cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook pasta for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on type of pasta and cooking time.
Take a ladleful of the cooking water from the pasta and add it to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot and add the butter to prevent sticking.
