Ingredients

• 12 oz wide egg noodles
• 4 tbsp butter
• 3 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup farmer’s cheese (or drained ricotta)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Be patient, as this step builds the dish’s deep flavor. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or nonstick spray.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, farmer’s cheese, beaten eggs, sugar, remaining 1 tsp of salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the cooked noodles and caramelized onions (reserve a small amount of onions for topping, if preferred) to the bowl. Toss gently until the noodles are well coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the reserved caramelized onions (if desired) and sprinkle with paprika for color.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or main course.
