♪ Summertime and the living is easy ♪
0:09
- I disagree. (chuckles)
0:11
It is hot as blue blazes down here.
0:15
Kids are outta school
0:16
and they want something to do
0:18
every minute of the day, don't they?
0:25
I've never heard of a child
0:27
that didn't like noodles and cheese.
0:32
they're born with that cheese and (laughs) macaroni gene.
0:37
So that's a dish that I'm putting together for y'all now.
0:41
Hopefully you can make this.
0:43
It makes a pretty good bit,
0:46
and you can keep it in the fridge.
0:47
So when the kids run in and say, "I'm starving",
0:50
you can pull it out and give them a nice hearty snack.
0:58
Now, I'm gonna start with cottage cheese.
1:03
My mother, I remember when she would diet,
1:08
and she would take cottage cheese
1:10
and chop up bell pepper, tomatoes, and onions,
1:14
and mix that together, and that was her salad.
1:18
I never too much got into that. (laughs)
1:21
Now, we're gonna add our sour cream.
1:27
And you know all the measurements
1:31
are at the end of this video so you can get 'em.
1:37
We don't have to tell the kids it's got onions,
1:41
They're grated so fine, they'll probably never know.
1:46
Okey-doke. So a teaspoon of Worcestershire.
2:00
There we go, and that's it.
2:07
Now, I'm just gonna fold in our egg noodles.
2:11
And these are still very hot.
2:17
Oops, get in there, get in there.
2:22
It calls for a one six ounce package.
2:28
Was this a six ounce package?
2:31
- [Theresa] Yes, ma'am.
2:32
- Looks like a lot, doesn't it?
2:34
Six ounces, doesn't sound like much, but when you cook it,--
2:40
- It becomes a lot. - it becomes a lot.
2:46
This would make a nice side dish too.
2:52
But it seems like all noodle recipes
2:56
over the years that I've come up on,
3:00
it calls for a bunch of the noodles, the pasta.
3:07
- You never use all of them. - No, I never use all of it.
3:16
So I'm gonna leave about that much in my colander.
3:27
I just wanna make sure all those noodles are coated.
3:31
So there's no salt in this.
3:34
Recipe didn't call for any salt.
3:41
- [Theresa] Did you add that Parmesan cheese
3:44
But I am gonna add some salt to it
3:53
'cause there's nothing in it that contains a lot of salt.
3:59
Maybe the cheese. (pulls nose) (clears throat)
4:06
just takes it to a whole nother level, you know?
4:14
I wish I, you hadn't sprayed that yet, have you, Theres?
4:18
- [Theresa] No, ma'am.
4:21
you'll wanna make sure you spray your casserole dish
4:30
so that it won't stick.
4:47
This dish wouldn't have held all those noodles.
4:54
Almost wish I had taken some noodles out.
5:00
Now, we're gonna bake this.
5:05
My recipe calls for 45 minutes,
5:08
but that just doesn't sound right to me.
5:12
It sounds like too much.
5:14
So I never know in transitioning if times and temperatures,
5:25
if they're been entered wrong or something like that.
5:33
One cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
5:38
So this is wonderful.
5:40
it'll make a good snack for the kids
5:41
or as a side dish with whatever you're serving.
5:49
I just pulled the pasta out of the oven.
5:51
Actually, it's been sitting for a few minutes.
5:53
It's no longer hot enough to take take the skin
5:57
off the roof of your mouth, thank goodness.
6:01
But I would recommend on this recipe if you do try it
6:06
to use half the amount of noodles that it calls for.
6:16
Mmm, this is very, very good.
6:21
But just half the noodles so it'll be creamier for you,
6:24
but the flavor is delicious.
6:27
And hopefully your children will love it.
6:31
So back to the stove I go. (laughs)
