Ingredients

10 oz fine noodles
1/4 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic (i add more)
1 Tbsp butter
12 oz small curd cottage cheese (1 1/2 cups)
1 c sour cream ( i add more)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp poppy seed
paprika, sweet mild to sprinkle on top

Steps:

1. Cook noodles making sure they are al dente. The very fine egg noodles cook quickly and they will cook again as they bake so dont over cook them in this step or you will have mush. :) Drain the noodles and run under cold water to stop them from cooking further.
2. Saute onion in butter till translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute.
3. Combine noodles and onion/garlic mixture. Mix in remaining ingredients and a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Place in a 2 quart casserole baking dish. Sprinkle with sweet Paprika.
4. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your dish. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
Season the dish well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make this dish your own. Try adding different vegetables, cheeses, and seasonings. You can also top the dish with a fried egg or a dollop of sour cream.
