Ingredients

  • 300 g pasta (egg noodles work best)
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g butter (melted)
  • 200 g salted goat cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the pasta in boiling water until slightly undercooked (al dente), as it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs separately, then mix in the melted butter, paprika, and optional seasonings.
  3. Combine everything: Add the pasta and crumbled goat cheese, stirring until fully coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish lined with parchment paper (or a buttered baking dish).
  5. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes or until the top forms a crispy golden crust.
  6. Slice, garnish as desired, and serve warm—best enjoyed with a glass of dry white wine!
