Boil your pasta to al dente in heavily salted water.
Add the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the pressed garlic, chili flakes (if using), diced onion, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic and tomato paste are fragrant.
Add the white wine and scrape the pan well. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, about 3-5 minutes.
Drain your al dente pasta and reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water.
Blend the cottage cheese in a high power blender until it's creamy.
Add the tomato paste mixture and blend again, until you get a creamy tomato sauce. If needed, you can drizzle in about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Add the sauce and the boiled pasta to the pan and mix well until all pasta is fully coated on all sides.
Add the Parmesan and mix well. Add more pasta water as needed.
Garnish with fresh grated parmesan, chili flakes, and parsley, then serve.

This pasta keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
