8 oz wide egg noodles (for less sinful, use yolk-free egg noodles)
8 oz cottage cheese (lowfat works just as well)
8 oz sour cream (lowfat works just as well)
1/2 stick butter or unsalted margarine
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk (lowfat, skim, 2% acceptable. So's Lactaid)

Optional:
Use one or a mix of these to taste:
Craisins
Raisins
Drained fruit cocktail

1. Heat oven to 350F
2. Cook Noodles until just soft. Drain them and put them in a large mixing bowl
3. Add cottage cheese, sour cream, margarine, eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla and mix until well combined.
4. Mix in the "extras." My favorite is a craisin/raisin mix.
   
5. Pour into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. You can dust the top with cinnamon for an extra color
6. Bake for about 1 hour, and check. Add time in 15 minute increments if necessary.

Small bowl
Cheesecloth
Sliced Provolone Cheese (about a pound to be safe)
1 bar of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of minced garlic (or more to taste)
1 jar pesto
1 bag sun dried tomato

1. Soak big square of cheesecloth, then squeeze it so it's damp.
   
2. Spread cheesecloth over the bowl.
   
3. Mix garlic and cream cheese well in a separate bowl
   
4. Put a layer of Provolone so it covers the size of the bowl with no gaps
   
5. Add a layer of pesto
6. Add layer of cream cheese mixture
   
7. Add layer of sundried tomato
   
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7
   
9. Add final layer of provolone
   
10. Take all ends of cheesecloth, and twist closed over the cheese layers. Press the cheese into the sides of the bowl as you do, keeping the top layer as flat as possible.
    
11. Put in refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours.
    
12. Take out, open the cheesecloth, and tilt over a plate.
    
13. Remove cheesecloth, cut and serve
    

​​OPTION: Add a layer of black olives (no pits) after the pesto, before the cream cheese.
