Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • olive oil for pan
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 t sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 pound cottage cheese
  • 1/2 pound egg noodles cooked (I use whole wheat)

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a saute pan. Add onion, saute until softened. Add paprika, stir to coat onion and heat the spice. Add cabbage, stir again. Add about half a cup of water, stir again, so the paprika coats the cabbage. Cover, and simmer 8-10 minutes, until done to your taste.
  2. Add cottage cheese, and stir just until it is all mixed together and the cheese is warmed up.
  3. Serve over cooked egg noodles

Notes

Amounts are flexible. This is what I cooked that day - I generally use 6-8 oz of cottage cheese per person, depending on how hungry we are and what else is in the meal, and a cup or more of shredded cabbage.
