Salted water
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese or half this
    amount and 1/2 cup cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
3 tablespoons dry cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter

Boil broad noodles in salted water 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with hot water.

To 3 cups boiled noodles, add 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese or 1/2 cup each cottage cheese and cream cheese. Add salt, pepper and eggs. Turn into a well-buttered ring mold, sprinkle with cracker crumbs, and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Turn into a buttered heavy skillet and cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes, stirring lightly to prevent sticking. Brown more cracker crumbs in hot melted butter and sprinkle on top.
