How to Make Cottage Cheese And Noodle Bake

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard until smooth and no lumps remain.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Gently fold in 2 cups cooked egg noodles.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, before serving.
