I am a big fan of casseroles, and I recently made a pasta casserole using my Instant Pot. I started by sautéing some onions and adding 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic. Then, I mixed in some sour cream and 24 ounces of cottage cheese. After combining everything in a casserole dish, I sprinkled smoked paprika on top and added 4 ounces of cheddar cheese. I baked the casserole for 35 minutes and finished it off by broiling it for 2 additional minutes.

I grew up eating this meal countless times. What truly elevated it was the buttered and crispy bread crumbs layered on top before baking. Trust me, it takes it to a whole new level. Give it a try!

This dish holds a special place in our hearts from childhood to now! My family always used dry cottage cheese, which is rare and pricey these days. We now use Farmers Cheese as a substitute, along with a generous 8oz bag of finely shredded Swiss cheese mixed into the hot noodles. Combining the noodles, cheese, and onions allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. I'm currently preparing it and can't wait to enjoy it!

My family absolutely adores this dish! It's the epitome of simple comfort food. We followed the recipe as instructed a couple of times, and then we decided to take it up a notch by incorporating 8 oz of sliced mushrooms and 2 cups of shredded cabbage while sautéing the onions, inspired by traditional pierogi fillings. The result? Absolutely delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but since we really enjoy onions, I included two whole onions, chopped and sautéed in butter. It turned out much better, especially if you're a fan of onions.

My siblings and I used to enjoy the same type of noodles when we were kids. It's incredibly easy yet remains one of my favorites. If you happen to have some cabbage available, try adding some sautéed cabbage to elevate the dish.

I have fond memories of a childhood favorite dish made with sautéed cabbage and onions in butter, mixed with cottage cheese and hot noodles, then baked for 30 minutes. We used to enjoy it alongside kielbasa or pork roast. I tried making it tonight, but unfortunately, my kids aren't fans of cabbage.
