Macaroni, noodles - very nutritious, high-calorie foods. One trouble - the "dough" is boring pretty quickly. However, it can be an excellent basis for cooking other foods, no less satisfying and very tasty.
What is Noodle
For those who are completely unfamiliar with the word “noodles”, let’s explain: this is a
pasta casserole
. Each recipe for gingerbread (and believe me, a lot of them) can include, in addition to the main product, many components. Therefore, your casserole will turn out to be sweet or savory in taste, with cottage cheese or mushrooms, meat or an egg - as you like. The uncomplicated basis of the dough leaves wide scope for creativity and experimentation.
What can I cook
We offer you a recipe for sweet noodles. The most simple and unpretentious. For one serving, 250 g of already cooked macaroni, 1 egg, half a glass of milk and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar are enough for you. Grease the frying pan with butter. Put the pasta in it. Beat the egg with milk and sugar, pour the dough with this mixture. Send to the oven to bake everything until golden brown. These dishes are suitable for breakfast or dessert for dinner. Pour the casserole with honey, jam or syrup. Or chop walnuts, mix with melted
butter and serve this sauce for dessert.
This, so to speak, is the option on duty. Now the recipe for the noodles is more intricate - with cottage cheese. For him, the side dish that you prepared the day before is suitable, but the family did not eat everything. It turns out very tasty, no one will say that these are leftovers (which are also sweet). For one serving, you must:
- 240 g of pasta (horns, spirals, noodles proper, etc.);
- one and a half glasses of cottage cheese;
- 1 egg
- a few tablespoons of sugar (to your taste - someone loves a sweeter, someone acidic);
- breadcrumbs - 1-2 tablespoons;
- a spoonful of margarine and the same amount of sour cream (meaning canteens);
- salt, as usual, to taste.
Our noodles recipe turns into a dish in this way: the cottage cheese is rubbed through a sieve or meat grinder. A raw egg, salt, sugar are added, all this is combined with the dough, mixed. The baking dish is carefully lubricated with margarine, sprinkled with breadcrumbs, egg-pasta mixture is laid out in it. Sour cream is placed on top (it must be distributed on the entire surface). Add melted margarine and bake until crusty. Served on a table with sour cream or jam, syrup, honey. Here is such a recipe for noodles for sweets lovers.
Lovers of spicy
For those who prefer to eat thoroughly and seriously, there is another, absolutely wonderful dish of baked noodles - kugel. It refers to traditional
Jewish cuisine, but it will appeal to representatives of various nations and nationalities: the food is tasty and healthy. For aromatic and piquant kugel, choose the following products:
- thin noodles from egg dough - 200 g;
- 2 onion heads, 4 cloves of garlic (can be squeezed out right through the garlic);
- eggs - 3 pieces;
- chicken or goose greaves - 3 teaspoons with top;
- tomato paste - 2 teaspoons;
- one and a half tablespoons of sour cream (cream or butter);
- various seasonings and spices. It’s good to have a chicken cube with the taste of chicken or turkey;
- Of course, vegetable oil.
Let's get started. Ready-made kugel is an excellent option for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- Cook the noodles.
- While this process lasts, you can do the sauce. Onions are cut, poured into a pan, water is added. Everything is put on a big fire until the liquid evaporates. This little trick helps to remove the inherent bitterness from the root crop.
- Pour in oil, make the fire quieter, let the onion lightly fry. Then we put garlic and other spices in it, stir, slightly crushing the onion. Next is the turn of sour cream (or its replacement), then tomato and greaves. Everything is mixed, languishing. And while you are working with noodles - it boiled, cooked, it should be removed from the stove, strain and rinse.
- In a wide bowl, noodles mix with sauce. Eggs are driven into it, everything is again mixed, sprinkled with caraway seeds.
- Prepare a baking dish. Lubricate it with oil.
- The workpiece is laid out in the form, put in the oven and baked for about an hour (temperature - 180 degrees).
- The slightly cooled finished dish is cut into portioned slices and served with fish or meat.
