- In a mixing bowl, combine whole milk cottage cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar. Season with dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer or food processor for about 1-2 minutes, then set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your dry protein pasta and cook according to the package instructions for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water.
