Polish Pasta with Cottage Cheese
Sep. 21st, 2021 09:18 pmCan you imagine... with Green Chile in?
Or cooked Chorizo, and seasoned with more Red Chile powder?
Polish Pasta with Cottage Cheese
(Makes 6 servings)
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter (2 sticks)
1/3 cup small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles (Any pasta/noodle works.)
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (sub- cream cheese)
1/3 cup milk, optional (but helps for creamier sauce.)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for boiling water)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
(I didn’t add any additional salt to the combined ingredients. TASTE first.)
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles/pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 1 minute less than package direction's minutes. Drain and return to the pot. OR, place in bowl and cover to keep warm. Use the same pot to continue...
2. Stir to melt butter in pot on medium heat, add onion cooked until translucent, add garlic last. Then add cottage cheese, sour cream, and black pepper into the pot and stir to partially meld, blend together. Put pasta/noodles in, and stir over medium/low heat; cook and stir until heated through and warm, 5 to 8 minutes.
(Add any ingredients as in cooked meats, spinach, tomatoes here now also.)
Added meat, like cooked, shredded chicken, cooked Polish sausage is great, or use as a side dish for pork chops, etc. Other add ins like fresh baby spinach, diced tomato work well. Sprinkle with a dash of Paprika or Chile powder, maybe chopped parsley or cilantro to serve.
