recipe for dry curd cottage cheese

boot said:

While checking labels I cam across this stuff and thought WOW this looks
like a great food for protein with little of anything else. So I bought a
couple of containers. I then discovered that this is a thoroughly disgusting
food. Tastes and feels like rubber. Does anyone have any good recipes or
things to do with this besides throw it out? I tried mixing it with fruit
but didn't help. Even the cat won't eat it. Thanks!

Never tried it. A quick google search reveals that it is also sometimes
called farmer's cheese and can be used in lasagna.
If you ever want to see what something can be used in recipe-wise try
going to a site like recipezaar.com and seeing what recpes people have
submitted with that ingredient.
Here is a link to the search results for "farmer's cheese".

Can't be! I get farmer's cheese all the time and it is damn tasty.
Spreads on crackers or bagels like cream cheese, but has way less fat
and more protein.

Lasagna using low carb pasta.

It's pretty much only useful for Italian dishes...

If you don't want the pasta, use layers of summer squash instead in
place of the noodles.

It works. ;-) And it's tasty.

If you are ok with pasta, make some regular lasagna with it using your
own spices and some really lean ground beef, or better yet, shredded
chicken breast.

Mozarella cheese is reasonably low in fat so can be used in limited
quantities to "dress up" the final dish.

Stuffed tortellini or Ravioli with mushrooms and turkey sausage is
another good way to use it. It's easy to make a low fat pasta sauce.

Cheers!

Ricotta cheese is another in the mix here, with less fat than cream
cheese but more than farmer's cheese, I think. All of them are worth
trying, as well as several brands, to see what you like. I find
store-bought part-skim ricotta makes a pleasant snack and it's easy to
find everywhere - good nutritional content for me.

There is a real taste difference between brands of cottage cheese,
ricotta, or dry curd cheeses even within the same brand the various fat
content changes the flavor. Knudsens is a favorite, while the store
brand went in the garbage. So do try other brands before judging.
