Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
1.5kg freshly-made, noodles (or 1kg dried egg noodles)
1 tbsp oil
large pinch of salt
220g grated cheese (Cheddar is good)
115g butter
Method:
It is best if you make the noodles fresh with a pasta machine, but you can also make a flour and water pastry, roll out with a rolling pin several times and cut as finely as possible with a knife.
Boil the noodles in water to which the oil and salt has been added until al dente. Drain well then place some melted butter and cheese in a serving bowl. Lay the noodles on top then add another layer of melted butter and cheese. Continue adding a few more layers of butter and cheese and noodles. You can either serve as it is, or you can top with a little more cheese before placing in a hot oven for several minutes before serving.
