Mouthwatering Polish Noodles

This simple recipe for pasta with cottage cheese came from the Polish side of my family. We call it “cottage cheese and noodles” or “lazy man pierogies.” It’s a great comfort food and can be made with any kind of noodle. You can serve it as a side dish, but we always enjoy it as a main course.
