Heat a large sauce pot with water & bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the pasta and cook it according to box instructions. 3 minutes before the noodles are cooked, add the chopped broccoli to steam.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. Add the freshly shredded cheese, cottage cheese, and milk into a food processor or blender. Pulse until very smooth.
Drain pasta and broccoli once cooked. Return the pasta to the warm pot and add the half puck of boursin cheese to the pasta. Gently break apart with a rubber spatula and toss until the pasta is coated in melted cheese.
Fold in the whipped cheese sauce. Heat the pan to low heat and stir until warm. Careful not to overheat as the cottage cheese could curdle and separate.
Time to season! I laid on the ground black pepper, a heavy pinch of salt, and red pepper flakes. Be sure to taste the pasta and then season to perfection.
Crush ritz crackers and sprinkle on top before serving. Enjoy!
