Hungarian Cottage Cheese Pasta | Culinary Immigration🇭🇺

🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the pasta

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add pasta and cook until al dente.
  • Drain well.

2️⃣ Cook the bacon

  • In a skillet, fry the chopped bacon until crispy.
  • Remove bacon and set aside, leaving a bit of the rendered fat in the pan.

3️⃣ Combine everything

  • Add the drained noodles to the pan with a little bacon fat or butter.
  • Stir in cottage cheese until creamy and warm.
  • Mix in crispy bacon (or just butter if making the vegetarian version).

4️⃣ Serve hot

  • Top with a spoonful of sour cream or a crack of black pepper, if desired.
  • Enjoy warm — simple, rustic, and totally Hungarian! 🇭🇺❤️

💡 Ashley’s Tips

  • For a sweeter version, skip the bacon and drizzle honey over the noodles — it’s a childhood favorite in Hungary! 🍯
  • Use farmer’s cheese (túró) if you can find it — it’s less watery and more authentic than cottage cheese.
  • Serve with a cucumber salad on the side for a light, fresh touch.
