Begin by cooking the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain when al dente, and let the pasta cool slightly to avoid sticking.

In a medium saucepan, combine cottage cheese, milk, and shredded cheddar over medium heat. Stir until cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Once the sauce is ready, fold in the cooked macaroni until every piece is coated with cheesy goodness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or herbs if desired.
