SUBMITTED BY: Charlee  PHOTO BY: gapch1026 

"This recipe is great for nights when you get home and need something to wind down. 'Turos Csusza' is a Hungarian dish I learned from my Dad last year when I turned twelve. It consists of bacon, egg noodles, sour cream, and cottage cheese. 'Elvezet!'"

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain well.
