POLISH NOODLES (COTTAGE CHEESE AND NOODLES)

This simple recipe came from the Polish side of my family. We simply called it 'cottage cheese and noodles' or 'lazy man pierogies.' It's a great comfort food and can be made with any kind of noodle. It could be a side dish, but we always enjoyed it as a meal.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of noodles. You can use any type of noodle you like in this casserole, but some good options include egg noodles, macaroni, and spaghetti. You can also use a combination of different noodles.
  • Cook the noodles al dente. This means that they should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and unpleasant in the casserole.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. Cottage cheese is a mild cheese, so it's important to use a flavorful cheese to balance it out. Some good options include cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and peas.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole should be cooked until it is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will dry it out and make it tough.

Conclusion:

Baked noodles and cottage cheese casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This versatile dish can be customized to your liking by adding different vegetables, cheeses, and meats. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give baked noodles and cottage cheese casserole a try.
