Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta (farfalle), elbow macaroni or egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese, pot cheese, or farmer’s cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 tsp of salt. Add the pasta and cook till tender, but not soft (a little softer than al dente). Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cool water.
  2. Place the empty pot back on the stove. Melt butter in the pot over medium. Add the cooked pasta back to the pot. Stir till the pasta is evenly coated with butter. Some people like to let the pasta “fry” in the butter a bit till it’s lightly browned. 
  3. Remove the buttered pasta from heat. Gently stir in the cheese till evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use a little less than ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper).
  4. Serve hot.
