Add the cottage cheese, almond milk, and Parmesan to a blender or food processor.

Blend on high speed until creamy, thick, and smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside.

Cook the pasta following the packaging instructions for al dente pasta. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Set pasta aside.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in the cottage cheese mixture, and stir. Bring to a simmer. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low.

In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water together to make a slurry. Whisk in the slurry to the sauce and continue to cook and whisk occasionally until the cheese breaks down and the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 20 minutes.

Stir in nutmeg, pepper, and salt to taste.

Add cooked pasta to sauce and stir until well coated. You can add pasta water to thin out sauce if you wish and get desired consistency.
