Cooking tips
When preparing dishes with pasta and cottage cheese, keep in mind that:
- Pasta does not need to be boiled too much; the optimal state is half-cooked (this allows them to maintain their shape during baking, otherwise they will mix with other components and lose their characteristic density and taste, which has a bad effect on the overall impression of the dish);
- Absolutely any types of pasta of various sizes, shapes and hardness are suitable for cooking (although hard varieties are still preferable, since they do not need to be washed after cooking);
- To create more juicy dishes, you need to buy ribbed pasta (the sauce does not drain from it, but lingers, retaining moisture);
- If you are preparing a sweet casserole, you can sprinkle some sugar on top before putting it in the oven, then it will form a crispy caramel crust;
- When cooking at a constant temperature, a crust does not appear on the casserole; to fix this, set the oven to “Grill” mode for the last five minutes;
- For baking, it is recommended to use glass or ceramic molds (and if you are concerned about calories, it is better to take silicone products, since they do not need to be greased before use);
- Excess eggs and paste compacts the dish, to ensure the airiness of the baked goods, you can strain the curd using a sieve;
- When adding fruits and berries, it is necessary to increase the cooking time, since these products contain a significant amount of moisture.
This dish will definitely appeal to those who do not eat meat and fish, and for others it is perfect on fasting days.
