To prepare a delicious noodle pudding with cheese, we will start by gathering the necessary ingredients and getting ready for each stage of the recipe. First, we will deal with the noodles. They are boiled in a large pot of boiling water, to which we add a generous tablespoon of salt. It is important that the noodles are cooked al dente, so they retain their texture and do not become too soft after baking. The boiling time varies, but generally, about 8-10 minutes is enough.
Meanwhile, we will take care of the form in which we will bake the pudding. A deep pot or baking dish is ideal. It is generously greased with butter, ensuring that every corner is covered. Then, we generously line the form with breadcrumbs, which will help achieve a delicious crust, as well as prevent the pudding from sticking to the dish.
In a large bowl, we will prepare the cheese mixture. We mix the cottage cheese or sweet cheese well with the eggs, sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla essence. It is important to use good quality cheese to achieve a rich and creamy taste. After obtaining a homogeneous mixture, the next step will be to deal with the noodles.
Once the noodles are cooked, we carefully drain them and rinse them under a stream of cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them quickly. We let the noodles drain for a few minutes, then add them to the bowl with the cheese mixture, gently mixing to ensure the noodles are well coated in the cheese cream.
Once the mixture is well homogenized, we pour everything into the greased and breadcrumb-lined dish. We level the surface with a spatula to ensure that the pudding bakes evenly. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the dish in the preheated oven. The pudding will bake for about 45 minutes, until it becomes golden and firm to the touch.
After the pudding is ready, we let it cool for 30 minutes in the baking dish. This resting time is essential as it allows the pudding to stabilize. Using a knife, we carefully detach the edges of the pudding from the sides of the dish. Then, we turn the pudding onto a platter, being careful not to break it. Served warm or at room temperature, noodle pudding with cheese is a comforting dessert, perfect to be enjoyed with loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
