Casserole
Description
The best choice for this recipe is to use cottage cheese with a fat content of 18%. It is from this that the most tender casserole without a single lump will result, living up to its name. If you don't have that option, simply blend the cottage cheese in a blender or pass it through a sieve. You can also leave the cottage cheese unprocessed; it will still be very tasty, but the casserole's texture will not be as delicate and uniform. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to taste. For a more diet‑friendly version, halve it. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
