PASTA KUGELS
1 cup pasta
shells
1 stick butter
2 onions,
chopped
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1¼ cup cottage
cheese
1¼ cup sour
cream
1 tbsp. poppy
seeds
4 eggs
½ tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
Put oven rack
in middle position and preheat to 425°.
Cook pasta
according to package directions, drain and rinse.
In heavy
skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brush muffin tin with some of
the butter. Add onions and garlic to butter and cook, stirring often
until well browned. Transfer buttered veggies to large bowl and stir
in pasta, sour cream, cottage cheese and poppy seeds. Lightly beat
eggs with salt and pepper and add to past mixture. Spoon into prepared tins
(fill to tops). Bake until puffed and golden, 25-30
minutes. Loosen the edges of Kugels with thin knife as soon as they
come out of the oven, then let cool about 5-10 minutes before removing from the
pan.
Food for Thought:
When mashed potatoes isn’t good enough for a
side, and spaghetti just doesn’t fit the bill, try these little yummies on for
size. A little Kugel goes a long ways.
Welcome to the 2018 A-Z Blogging
challenge. This will be my fourth year. Every year I take on the
challenge with hopes of disciplining myself to keep writing throughout the year
as much, if not more than just through the monthly challenge. (It certainly is
a challenge.) Some years are better than others. Some I
just lose track of time. This year I have decided to put my favorite
hobbies together. A recipe that is tried and true as well as some thoughtful
insight. Please note some of these recipes have been shared before,
however they have gone through years of testing and this is the perfected
recipe. I really hope one of my recipes or “Food for Thought”
inspires you to do something great. Enjoy the read and the photos,
try the recipe, share your thoughts or comments, and most of all, have FUN with
the challenge this month!
Cheers,
