Pour boiling water to cover the sun dried tomatoes. Allow to stand for 10 minutes Drain and cut into pieces. (Discard the water.) In a blender container, combine the milk, cottage cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese. Process until smooth. Leave the blender running and slowly add the olive oil until well-blended. Pour the sauce into a heavy saucepan and warm over low heat; do not boil. Drain the cooked hot pasta and put into a bowl. Pour the sauce over, add the drained sun-dried tomatoes and the basil and toss well. Note -- this is good with cooked turkey or chicken added to it.
