Capellini with Herbed Cottage Cheese

Pureeing cottage cheese with olive oil creates a richly flavored sauce without the calories or the saturated fat of heavy cream. This luscious concoction, flavored with tarragon and lemon and ready in 2 minutes, is an altogether appealing combination with thin noodles.

The sauce is enough for ½ pound of pasta, or for 2 portions. Simply double the proportions when serving 4. Serve broccoli or asparagus as a side dish.
