Hamtramck Recipe: Poor Man's Peirogi

Okay, I'll be the first to say that ,y waistline is by no means the smallest of the bunch. One reason is probably this delicious dish. I'm not sure who first created it, but it has been in my family for years.

1 16oz Package of your favorite pasta (we always use either rotini or elbow macaroni)
1 16oz Tub of Cottage Cheese (Small curd is usually better)
1 small onion
4 tbsp Margarine or butter

Prepare pasta according to box directions, cook until al dente. Drain pasta and return to pot. Dice onions evenly and add to hot pan with margarine. Saute until golden brown. Add into pasta with full container of cottage cheese. Mix well until fully blended. Add salt or pepper to taste.

This dish will definitely pack on the pounds, but it is well worth it. I wish I had taken a picture of it before finishing, but it was too good to wait!

Another great variation to this recipe is to make this dish, but substitute the cottage cheese for steamed and buttered cabbage. When steaming the cabbage, be sure to add a full stick of margarine and cook until tender. I also add some garlic and pepper to the cabbage and some sauted mushrooms. This variation is just as delicious, but make sure to take some anti-gas first!!
