Sweet Noodles With Cottage Cheese

Growing up Europe every mom I knew cooked and baked for her family except my mom.

I don't know why my mom didn't cook.Grandma was an excellent cook and so was my mom's sister. Perhaps because my mom was always different. She could never fit into any "box". As long as I remember my mom was always her own person and she didn't do anything she didn't like. I've been told that I am a lot like her.....except I cook and bake.

Fortunately for my mom, my sister and myself our dad was an excellent cook and we happen to live in a hotel. So there was never a shortage of good food or cooks.



Sweet Noodles with Cottage Cheese



Every summer we spent few weeks in our summerhouse with mom while dad worked. Since we spent majority of it at the public pool/resort most of our diet consisted from restaurant meals, fresh salads, fruits or sandwiches.

There was one thing my mom always made for us when we were tired of all of the above.

We named it "Emergency Food". Till this day when I feel down, sick or just don't know what to eat I make myself bowl of mom's Emergency Food.

It is very simple and very tasty if you ask me or my sister.

The emergency food is nothing more then broad egg noodles with melted butter, cottage cheese, icing sugar and cinnamon.

This recipe makes 2-3 servings of Sweet Noodles with Cottage Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Broad Egg Noodles (cooked)
  • 2 Tbsp Butter (unsalted)
  • 1 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
  • Icing Sugar
  • Cinnamon
In a pan melt butter until golden brown on medium heat. Add cooked and well drained noodles. Stir it around until the noodles are covered with butter and warm. Add cottage cheese and heat for minute or two until the cottage cheese starts to melt a bit.

Plate it, dust with icing sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon.

My Mom used to make this every Tuesday and Thursday night before we went out for the evening. It's been a family tradition for years. We used cane sugar though, not powdered. Same result. :)
