Cook fettuccine and drain. Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese, skim milk, arrowroot, salt and pepper, and garlic and onion powders if desired, in a blender. Purée until smooth. Transfer mixture to a heavy skillet or saucepan, add parsley and warm over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Do not let sauce boil. Remove from heat and pour over hot, drained noodles. Sprinkle with parmesan.

Variations: use tomato or spinach fettuccine, and garnish with sun-dried tomatoes and chopped fresh basil.

Or lightly steam 1 cup broccoli florets for 3 to 4 min, until tender-crisp. Toss with sauce and hot pasta.

Or sauté ¾ cup sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons red wine. Toss with sauce and hot pasta.
