Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

SAVORY CURD CHEESE PASTA

Traditional ingredients, a traditional recipe: túrós csusza.

Ingredients for about 4 servings:
300 g pasta squares
500 g curd cheese
20 ml sour cream
Bacon
Salt
Oil (instead of fat from the bacon)

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Difficulty: ☺


Preparation:

Dice the bacon, fry them, and drain on a paper towel.

Cook the pasta in a generous amount of salted water. When cooked, rinse with warm water. Add a drop of lard or a splash of oil to keep the pasta from sticking.

Mix 3/4-th of the curd cheese and 10 ml sour cream, salt to taste, and then mix with the pasta. Serve the hot pasta with the crumbled curd cheese, sour cream and the fried bacon cubes - separately in small bowls, so that everyone can fix their own pasta to taste.


Hint:
Use pappardelle, cut into squares, or knead a firm dough from 300 g plain flour and 2 eggs, rolled out thinly. When it is almost dry, cut into squares.

Enjoy!
