This claims to be a lower calorie version of a simple baked macaroni and cheese. The eggs in this dish are what make it more like a pie. The recipe in the book is actually called Low Calorie Pastiere. Recipe from a Boston, Massachusetts community cookbook entitled The North End Union Italian Cookbook. Ingredients:
4 eggs |
1 lb cottage cheese |
1 cup grated romano cheese |
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley |
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325*.
2. In large bowl, beat eggs well. Mix in cheeses and parsley well. Stir in macaroni.
3. Pour mixture into a generously greased 8 x 12 pyrex baking dish. Bake for 1 hour or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving to allow cheese sauce to thicken slightly. May need to be seasoned with pepper just before serving.
