Background

Pasta with cottage cheese/curd is a very popular dish in Hungary, particularly after fish soup and bean stew. It’s either served as a savoury dish (with fried bacon scattered on top) or as a dessert, dusted with sugar (see my Curd pasta recipe>>) My kids love it, so I’ve made it a bit more healthy by adding some sautéed vegetables instead of bacon to the savoury version. You can use substituted veggies, if you like - courgette, red pepper, spinach, green beans, peas would all work well too. This pasta with cottage cheese and vegetables can be served warm or at room temperature - so it's ideal for picnics, trip and school lunch boxes too!
