This dish will definitely be to the liking of those who do not eat meat and fish, and for others it will perfectly suit on days off.

It would seem that it's easier: cook pasta (pasta, as they say in Europe), added cottage cheese, stirred and - ready. You can say almost that, but it turns out a bit dryish (in particular, if the cottage cheese is low-fat).

Therefore, we will learn how to prepare tasty pasta with cottage cheese.

First of all, we choose high-quality pasta, that is, from durum wheat (marking on the package "group A"). Cottage cheese is better to use fresh, medium fat.

Preparation

Varim pasta al dente (that is, during the average time from the one indicated on the package) and throws it back to the colander. Do not rinse. We put butter in hot pasta and mix. We lay out on plates and add cottage cheese. Stir and eat. Simply, right?

And it can be more interesting.

Instead of butter, you can season pasta with cottage cheese sauce with a base of natural sour cream (or cream, milk, of course). Season with sour cream or cream with chopped garlic, hot red pepper and other ground spices to your liking. And from above you can sprinkle with chopped herbs. It will be much more delicious.

It will be even more interesting if you buy special pasta for stuffing (cannelloni, for example, or large "seashells").

Pasta stuffed with cottage cheese in the oven

Ingredients:

Preparation

Canneloni boil for 5-8 minutes, no more, and we throw it back in a colander. Cottage cheese is mixed with 1 egg, paprika and well-chopped herbs. When the cannelloni is slightly cooled, we stuff it with each cottage cheese stuffing. Lubricate the butter with a slightly warmed refractory mold and spread out the cannelloni. Mix the cream with the egg, a little salting and watering the design of cannelloni. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at medium temperature. When the crust has become rosy, sprinkle with grated cheese and decorate with greens.
