Instructions

Add the butter to a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook until it’s softened and starting to brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the onions are cooked, stir in the cooked, drained noodles. After that, stir in the cottage cheese, sour cream, and salt.
Transfer to serving bowls, sprinkle the parsley and black pepper on top, and serve.

Notes

Recipe Yield: This recipe makes 3 main course-sized servings or 6 side dish-sized servings.
You Can Use Unsalted Butter Instead of Salted: If you don’t have salted butter, you can use unsalted butter and add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Substitute for Cottage Cheese: Instead of cottage cheese, you can use farmers’ cheese if you prefer. Or look for dry cottage cheese for a good replica of what is traditionally used.
Add Bacon For Flavor and Texture: To bump up the flavor even more, you can crisp up 3 slices of bacon. Remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it to add to the top of the noodles when serving. Use the bacon grease instead of butter to cook the onion.
