I love sour cream. OH my goodness, I lather that stuff over EVERYTHING! My husband tells me to chill out and not be so generous on his portions, but I get carried away. I literally think anything and everything tastes better with a dollop of sour cream. Maybe it is because I love whipped cream and sour cream is the version of whipped cream for savory food? Hahaha. Whatever it is, I love it and I promise you, I eat it with just about everything.
I mean, I at least enjoy it once a day. So tasty, yum! Well, I have finally found my match of a dish. I have tried long and hard to incorporate pasta and sour cream well, without seeming too weird, but it always turns out just like that: weird.
At least for other people! Well, I searched high and low on Pinterest to find the perfect sour cream and pasta recipe and I found it! This one is so easy and the flavors are so perfectly blended.
The bit of tomato sauce with the sour cream goes a long way and is so worth incorporating. Also, do not go light on the cheese. I repeat, DO NOT go light on the cheese. It needs it and makes it so much better!

Quick Tip: I like to add a little extra tomato sauce!
Why many cans of tomatoe sauce?? Is it 8 or 12 oz??
I assume that it means you need 20 oz tomato sauce. Personally I think that would be too much tomato so I would just use the one 12 oz can.
It’s one 15 oz AND one 8 oz. So, both. ?
Coz they don’t make 20 ounce cans, duhhhh
Be nice.
duhhhh that’s 23 oz
My Mother called this sour Cream Noodle Bake. One of my favorite Pot Luck Dinner recipe
I love this, but m
y husband doesn’t like tomato sauce, so I have adapted this with cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup. Good either way.
I believe we’d like it better with the cream of mushroom soup too! How much soup did you use?
Do you use the same amount of soup if using soup instead of tomato sauce?
There is no explaination on how to use the 2 different amounts of tomato sauce.
It’s both cans at once. No separate additions. They don’t make the size can needed to fulfill the recipe, so it takes 2 diff sizes
YES, YES, YES!
Tomato sauce comes in a plastic carton now. I don’t use can tomatoes they bring out contamination from the can because of the acid content.
The lining of the cans used for tomatoes in any form is carcinogenic. It is necessary because the acid level of tomatoes would eventually eat right through the can.
When do you put in the cheddar?
You layer it on…..noodles….meat sauce….cheddar…..noodles…meat sauce….cheese
We always put the cheese only on top. The noodles, sour cream, cottage cheeze and onions are mixed together then layered with the mest and tomato sauce mixture. Personally, I love using ground turkey, ILO ground beef. Either one is fabulous. This is my absolute favorite dish!
I think I might try layering the sour cream and cottage cheese on TOP of the noodles…. and use spaghetti sauce
Question: are we talking tomato sauce or pasta sauce?
I was wondering if anyone has tried using pasta sauce.
Pasta sauce is spaghetti sauce–you can use it OR the suggested plain tomato sauce. (hint: I put the sour cream & the cottage cheese in the blender to make it creamier. I don’t care to see the cottage cheese curds in my casserole)
Why won’t it let me print the recipe?
What can I use instead of cottage cheese. I have never eaten that, and don’t plan to.
Could a can of mushroom soup, ( with out the water that you usually use with it )
Be used, or would I need the water to make enough??? It looks good, and I want to
Try it, but not with CC. Thanks for any help.
I would use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. Don’t think soup would work as replacement for the cheese at all well.
Ricotta cheese could be substituted for the cottage cheese. The consistency is about the same. Good luck!
Ricotta would work instead. Don’t use mushroom soup! The cottage cheese the is cheese portion of the casserole. This is like lasagna with sour cream and noodles. . .
You could use ricotta cheese instead.
Try ricotta cheese instead.
What about ricotta cheese?
Use Ricotta cheese in place of cottage cheese. I like it better too.
this is pretty much the pioneer woman’s recipe that I’ve done, only I use spaghetti sauce. More flavorful.
I agree- I’m gonna make it with spaghetti sauce- the tomato sauce sounds too BLAND! THANK YOU!!
Barilla is spaghetti sauce (pasta sauve).
Sauce
I would use ricotta instead of cottage cheese.
Why doesn’t it give you an option to print? I even tried to highlight the recipe and print and it won’t allow.
Copy and paste to Word then print
This recipe sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try it. But my daughter doesn’t like red sauce, so when I make spaghetti I use a mixture of spaghetti sauce and ranch dressing. Sounds weird, but even though it’s pink, she likes it, so I’ll try it here, too.
There is a recipe that uses sour cream and noodles, it’s called Stroganoff
Do you really put tomato sauce,cheddar cheese and cottage cheese in your Stroganoff?
And her recipe doesn’t include mushrooms, so….
My thoughts exactly.
I use marinara sauce. We did this with spaghetti noodles.
I think I’d use spaghetti sauce? ..and some cream cheese, perhaps
This recipe is perfect for large groups. So easy to make & everyone loves it!
I made this, but didn’t have tomato sauce so I used spaghetti sauce and added some Italian blend cheese with the cheddar. Really good.
Sounds delicious, Debbie!
for those afraid off cottage cheese, melted cottage cheese is delicious!…. and has a nicer texture than ricotta
