πŸ₯˜Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2 tbsp water

For the Sauce

2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup milk
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

For Garnish

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³Directions

1In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
2Make a well in the center and add eggs and water.
3Mix until a dough forms.
4Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5Let the dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
6Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
7Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out each piece until thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
8Cut the dough into thin noodles using a knife or pasta machine.
Set aside.
9In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil.
10Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, until al dente.
11Noodles should float to the top and the water should be bubbling.
12While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce.
13In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
14Add flour and whisk to form a roux.
15Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the roux is lightly golden.
16Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
17Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly and is bubbling.
18Add cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the saucepan.
19Stir until the cottage cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
20Remove from heat and set aside.
21Once the noodles are cooked, drain them using a colander and return them to the pot.
22Pour the cottage cheese sauce over the noodles and toss to combine.
23If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of pasta water to thin it out.
24Serve the cottage cheese noodles hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
25Enjoy immediately while the noodles are hot and soft with a creamy texture.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Cottage Cheese Noodles

Q: What type of noodles should I use for this recipe?

I recommend using a high-quality egg noodle for this recipe. Egg noodles have a slightly firmer texture than other types of noodles, which pairs perfectly with the creamy cottage cheese.

Q: Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese?

While you can use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese if you prefer, I highly recommend using full-fat cottage cheese for this recipe. The richness of the full-fat cottage cheese adds depth and complexity to the dish that low-fat or non-fat versions simply can’t replicate.

Q: What herbs should I use in this recipe?

The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize the herbs to your liking. Some popular options include chopped fresh dill, parsley, or chives. Feel free to mix and match different herbs to find the combination that works best for you.

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

This recipe is perfect for making ahead of time. Simply prepare the noodles and cottage cheese mixture according to the instructions, then refrigerate or freeze until ready to serve.

Q: Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

This recipe is vegetarian-friendly but not vegan-friendly due to the use of cottage cheese and eggs in the noodles.
