Granny is my aunt's neighbor. She's originally from Poland and she always brings us this dish. I don't really know what you call it but it's good! I shall name it...Polish Pasta!
You'll need the following:
I don't really cook using exact measurements, I kinda play it by how it smells and how it looks so if you're one of those people who are anal about stuff like that, I would like to apologize.
Melt butter in a pan and add finely-chopped onions to it. You'd want to make sure that there is enough butter to kinda caramelize the onions. Not even sure if that's the correct term but that's what I call browned onions that taste sweet so there. While you're waiting for the onions you can start cooking the pasta. I prefer using bow ties but you can use whatever you want.

Add a pinch of salt to the pasta. It makes it taste better, trust me. While the pasta is cooking, make sure you check on your onions because you don't want them to burn. You'll know they're almost ready when they look like this:
You see how the onions look transparent? That's how you tell that the onions are cooked but for this dish, we want them to be brown. So by now your pasta's cooked and you're just waiting for the onions to be ready. Drain the pasta and add the cottage cheese.
Then you can add the onions but remove any excess butter as we don't want the dish to be too oily.
The onions are darker in real life, it's just that our kitchen has bright lighting. Just mix up all the ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste. If you like onions you can use more, if you hate them then use less. Like I said, you can cook this dish the way you like it but I've always found that two onions is just right for the flavors not to overpower each other and instead work together.
And here is the Polish pasta. Tadaaah!
The only hard part about making this dish is chopping up the onions. Sniff.
