Noodle & Cheese Casserole


In place of the 1 & 1/2 pounds homemade noodles, I substitute a bag (12
oz.) of extra-wide egg noodles.


Cook 1 & 1/2 pounds homemade noodles in rapidly boiling salted water for
about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain well and keep warm.

WHILE noodles are cooking: Mash 1 cup creamy cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
with 6 ounces of (room temperature) cream cheese and 1 cup sour cream.
THEN: Mix the mash with the noodles in a bowl and season with 1/4
teaspoon each of salt and pepper (I use white pepper to hide the specks).

Fold in lightly 1/3 cup finely chopped scallions or chives (I use 1/3 cup
fine minced shallots) and turn the mixture into a generously buttered
8"x8" casserole dish and smooth evenly. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup fresh
grated parmesan regiano cheese, dot with unsalted butter and bake in a
moderate oven (350 F.) for 30 minutes on the middle oven rack.

Let sit to cool and set, about 1/2 hour. Slice into 4 x 4 OR 3 x 3
(grid), serve and enjoy!!!


I've been tempted to toss in either some fine shredded cooked chicken or
crumbled bacon before baking but it stands up too well all by itself.

Could be your Maw's recipe!

It's out-of-this-world delicious!

What with the cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream, this sounds
like a very good "noodle kugel". Whatever you call it, it sounds
delicious!

Wayne,

It's almost kugel but without the sweetness touch to it. It's an artery
clogger in any event and is VERY delicious!!!

I hope you'll try it!

Not all kugels are sweet, Andy. I will try this the next time I have
someone else here to help eat it, It would be dietary suicide for me to
make it for just the two of us, both on WW

BTDT, but we're both so close to goal that I want to get there first before I
start taking too many liberties. And this one is a *huge* liberty. :-)
