Easy Polish Noodles Recipes

POLISH NOODLES (COTTAGE CHEESE AND NOODLES)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Stir butter and onion mixture, cottage cheese, sour cream, sea salt, and black pepper into the noodles. Place the pot over medium heat; cook and stir until heated through and warm, 5 to 8 minutes.

POLISH KLUSKI NOODLE (KLUSKI DO ROSOLU)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer or food processor (or by hand), combine flour and salt. Add eggs and enough water so dough forms into a ball.
• Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible. Do not cover. Let dry for 30 minutes but no longer otherwise it will crack when you try to cut it.
• Either roll the dough into a cylinder and slice, or slice dough into 3-inch wide strips, flour and stack them on top of each other, then slice 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch across.
• Scatter noodles across a floured surface so they don't stick together. Let dry 30 minutes. Cook in boiling, salted water 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness and your preference. Drain.
• If you want to save the noodles for later use, make sure they are completely dry before storing.

EASY KLUSKI NOODLES (POLISH-STYLE PASTA)

Steps:

• Into a food processor, add all the ingredients and pulse until the dough reaches a crumbly texture (about 10 seconds).
• Remove the dough and transfer it to the lightly-floured cutting board or clean countertop.
• Form the dough into a ball, the knead for about 2 minutes until the dough is elastic. If you find that the dough seems too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, one tablespoon at a time.
• Form the dough into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Use a rolling pin or pasta maker to roll out the kluski pasta dough and cut it into noodle shapes.
• To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to boil, then gently add in the kluski noodles. Cook for 2-5 minutes, until the noodles rise to the top. Drain and use immediately in various soup and pasta dishes (like the Ribeye Steak with Egg Noodles Puttanesca). ENJOY!
• In a large bowl, add flour and salt. Whisk until well-combined.
• Using a spatula, make a "well" in the center of the flour/salt mixture. Add in the egg, egg yolks, and butter into the center. Mix together with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and transfer it to the lightly-floured cutting board or clean countertop. Form the dough into a ball, the knead until the dough is elastic. If you find that the dough seems too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, one tablespoon at a time.
• Form the dough into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.

POLISH NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the sausage, green pepper, and onion. Cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in the cabbage, the sausage mixture, and the noodles. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes. Add water while cooking if needed; the mixture should not be dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with sour cream if desired.

EASY AND QUICK HALUSHKI

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer bacon and onion mixture with drippings into the pot used to cook the noodles and cook and stir cabbage until coated with drippings. Cover pot and cook until cabbage is tender, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently stir in noodles and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
