Ingredients
Cottage cheese 5-9% fat | 250 g |
Frozen or Fresh Cherries | 100 g |
Natural yogurt | 500 ml |
Sugar or sweetener | taste |
Cannelloni pasta | 10-11 pcs. |
Step cooking
Preparing the filling
- Cherries should be pre-stoned and chopped. The number of berries also depends on taste preferences. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed. To obtain maximum mass uniformity, you can grind it in a blender. Then the filling will resemble a plain berry ice cream. The resulting amount of filling can take about 10 pieces of cannelloni pasta. Fill them with cottage cheese using the back of a teaspoon as densely as possible.
- Beat low-fat cottage cheese in a blender or pass through a sieve. This is necessary in order to destroy large grains of cottage cheese and so that it acquires a uniform, airy consistency. However, you can do without this. Pour 100 ml of liquid natural yogurt into the crushed curd and mix thoroughly with a fork. Yogurt should be natural and without additives (sold in the store), since such a product does not contain excess sugar and other harmful additives.
- We also add sweetener to cottage cheese - sugar or honey to taste. You can also use sweeteners, such as stevia. The main task at this stage is to give the filling the desired sweetness.
Baking preparation
- A baking dish (ceramic or metal) is greased with a small amount of vegetable oil, distributing it over the entire surface using a pastry brush.
- We put the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. Place the pasta filled with cottage cheese in a baking dish. Pour them with 400 ml of natural cottage cheese over the entire surface.
- Place the mold in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Options for filling and complementing dishes
Such a recipe for pasta with cottage cheese does not take much time, since you do not need to knead the dough and bother with it for a long time. Its other advantage is its versatility, since this dish can be changed and supplemented endlessly. Consider the most successful ways of cooking it:
- If you don’t want sweets, you can easily make pasta with cottage cheese in a salty version. To do this, add a little allspice, salt and fresh herbs to your curd filling. The most appropriate here would be dill and green onions. Also, you should add non-fat sour cream with chopped herbs to the filling and pour the pasta with it before baking. The final touch of this option will be grated hard cheese just before serving.
- Cannelloni pasta forms are not very popular and common. However, they can be replaced with pasta in the shape of shells, which are familiar to everyone and affordable. The filling can be left the same. Stuffed pasta should be packed as tightly as possible into the mold and pour on top with natural yogurt. You need to bake them less - about 20 minutes.
