Cottage cheese, bowties, and onions

Yes, all of those go in the same recipe. Years ago, when I still lived in California, my friend M told me about a recipe that I just didn't understand at the time. What in the world could onions do for cottage cheese???

It turns out that there is more that one website with more than one recipe for this questionable cuisine.

Behold:

Ingredients

1 1lb. box of bow tie pasta
1 medium onion
1 stick butter
1 16oz. container of cottage cheese.
salt and pepper to taste

Chop onion and saute with half a stick of butter. Cook until tender on low heat, then increase heat to medium-high just until onion turns gold. When onion is done, turn off heat and add remaining butter.
Boil pasta according to manufacturers directions.
Mix onions, pasta and cottage cheese in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.


Now... I'll be trying this soon and let you know how it goes. Has anyone else ever heard of such a thing??

M, if you're reading this, big hug!!
