Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat fusilli according to package directions until al dente.
During the last 5 minutes of pasta cooking, place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over the pot and steam until tender-crisp.
In a high-speed blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the hot pasta water, blending until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot over very low heat.
Gently stir in the blended cheese sauce and olive oil, tossing to coat the pasta thoroughly without letting the sauce boil.
Fold in the steamed broccoli and serve immediately topped with fresh lemon zest and cracked black pepper.
