Directions

Step 1

Cook the wide egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Add the cheese mixture to the skillet with the noodles and gently stir until everything is evenly coated and the cheeses are melted into a creamy sauce.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper, if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the lazy perogies to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired.
