60 minutes

Cottage cheese rolls with herbs and cheese are a delicate and aromatic dish inspired by Italian cuisine. In this recipe, thin pappardelle pasta transforms into elegant rolls filled with airy cottage cheese filling with herbs, creamy cheese, and crunchy pine nuts. Baked in cream and topped with grated cheese, they acquire an appetizing golden crust. The origins of this dish can be linked to traditional Italian pastas with cheeses and herbs, where the freshness of the ingredients plays a key role. The taste of the rolls surprises with a balance of creamy softness, the spiciness of herbs, and a light nutty note. These rolls are perfect as an appetizer or light dinner, pair wonderfully with a glass of white wine, and bring a touch of sophistication to everyday menus.
