Polish Noodles (Cottage Cheese and Noodles)

PIN IT... TO remember it!

“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.”

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1 small onion, diced

1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles

1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

Stir butter and onion mixture, cottage cheese, sour cream, sea salt, and black pepper into the noodles. Place the pot over medium heat; cook and stir until heated through and warm, 5 to 8 minutes.
