1. Cook vermicelli in the usual way in salted water. Then drain the water, rinse - everything as usual. Add butter to the hot noodles and stir.
2.Now add sugar, eggs, mix so that each vermicelli is covered in sugar and egg.

There is a second method of mixing - a little more troublesome, using a blender or mixer - mix the eggs, cottage cheese and sugar into a homogeneous mass and add to the noodles - there will be no grains of cottage cheese there. I personally like it better when the cottage cheese is not whipped, but this is a matter of taste. Try both.
4.Now let’s proceed to the final stage of preparation. We cooked everywhere: in the oven, in a multicooker, in a frying pan, in the oven for the longest time - it takes about thirty minutes to cook, in a multicooker for about fifteen minutes, grease the mold with butter - in the oven and in the multicooker everything is simple - pour it into the mold and wait for fifteen to thirty minutes, stirring occasionally .
5. The fastest and easiest way, but at the same time the most difficult for those who have not seen how to do it. Then you will understand that everything is actually simple. Pour vermicelli with cottage cheese and eggs onto a preheated and greased frying pan. We wait a couple of minutes, and then start stirring the vermicelli from time to time. Cottage cheese with eggs will be cooked before your eyes, in just a few minutes.
This is how crumbly and very tasty vermicelli turns out. Vermicelli with cottage cheese, which my children, now teenagers, ask me to cook more often.

As for pasta, you can use any variety: spirals or cones. The main thing is that they are made from durum cereals: then you don’t have to wash them.
