Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Boil and cook the noodles according to the package's instructions. . Drain well.
- Separate the eggs. In a bowl beat together the egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar. Add the vanilla sugar and the cottage cheese. You can put raisins or sour cherry also. But it,s optional. ½
- Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add ½ cup of sugar and continue beating until the egg whites are stiff and glossy.
- Carefully fold the noodles into the yellow mixture. Then pour the white mixture in it also.

Notes
- Make it with homemade pasta if you want a tastier and softer one.
- I don't really like it when it's dry. So what I advise you to do, is to bake it less. Bake it, when just starts to be golden. Don't wait until is totally golden. Like this, will be juicier and not dry.
- Another method is if you like sour cherry, you can use that (without the seeds, of course), and will be amazingly juicy. This is my ultimate method. But this is just for those who like sour cherry. BUT: If you think that will be too sour with the sour cherry...Don't forget, that we have 1½ cup of sugar in this dessert, which equates to the ingredients!
