 Recipe: Noodles and Cheese
I don't know where this recipe comes from or if there's a nicer name for it;
all I know is that my mother used to make it when I was a kid and it only has 5
ingredients. The buttery, almost smoky onion flavor and the melty cottage cheese
are absolutely delicious!
| Yield |
4 servings |
| Time |
25 minutes |
| Tools |
- Large saucepan
- Colander
- Wok or frying pan
- Wooden spoon
|
| Ingredients |
- 2 c dry pasta shapes (elbows, shells, bowties)
- 4 T butter
- 2 c onion, sliced or roughly chopped
- ½ t salt
- 1 c cottage cheese, drained
|
| Directions |
Cook the pasta according to package and drain.
Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the onions, and sauté over
medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add salt and continue
sautéing for another 10-15 minutes, until onions are somewhat shrunken and
medium- to dark-brown in color.
Stir in the pasta and cook for a minute or two, then add cottage
cheese. Keep stirring - when the cottage cheese just starts to melt, it's
ready - serve immediately.

| Notes |
This recipe works well with any flavor pasta - white, wheat, spelt, etc. It's also great for using up leftover cooked pasta - just leave it out of the fridge for 30 minutes and add it as per the directions above. Also see my recipe for macaroni and cheese. |
