Combine cottage cheese and garlic in a food processor; process until smooth, scraping sides of bowl once. Add basil, Parmesan cheese, yogurt, oil, salt, and pepper; process until finely smooth.
Steam peas, covered, 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Combine pesto, peas, and pasta in a large bowl; toss well to coat.
Very nice, light summer dish and comes together very quickly. I added some fresh oregano and crushed red pepper as well. With salad and bread, this is dinner.
