Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 200 g csusza pasta or wide egg noodles (dried)
- 750 g lean cow cottage cheese (3 packages)
- 150 g Greek yogurt, 0%
- 60 g sour cream, 12% (3 tablespoons)
- 40 g bacon, cut into small cubes
- Salt, freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Take the cottage cheese out of the fridge in advance so it doesn't cool down the hot pasta. Mix the yogurt smooth with the sour cream and a pinch of salt.
- Put the bacon in a cold, dry pan, and fry it over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes until it renders its fat and the cracklings are crispy and golden brown. Remove onto paper towels. Keep only 1 teaspoon of the rendered fat, pour out the rest: the flavor will remain.
- Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time specified on the package, drain it, and immediately toss it with the retained fat and some pepper.
- Crumble half the cottage cheese onto the hot pasta and toss. Plate it, crumble the remaining cottage cheese on top, spoon the yogurt sour cream mixture over it, sprinkle with the cracklings, and grind plenty of pepper over it.
