Egg Noodles With Spinach image

From "Lost Recipes"...Country Cooking, I think, is the magazine. I just have a copy of a page. This was originally called "Screaming Noodles" because of children's reaction to spinach being in the dish.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup chicken broth
10 ounces Baby Spinach, fresh
1/2 cup parsley, fresh chopped
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to boil, add 1 TBL salt and the noodles. Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles and return them to the pot.
  • Heat the oil, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sizzling about 1 minute.
  • Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan and broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 2 to 4 minutes.
