Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Add the cottage cheese and milk to the saucepan. Stir gently and heat through for 2-3 minutes, until the cottage cheese is warm.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take 1-2 minutes.
Return the smooth sauce to the saucepan (if using a regular blender). Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Heat gently for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warmed through. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more milk or pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, chicken, or steamed vegetables.
