Sweet Noodle Cake with Farmers Cheese (Vargabéles)

Although this is a dessert, it's not a pretty-petit-elegant one, It's a fulfilling, sweet dish, which is mainly served as a second course after a nice warm soup. Ingredients (serves 6 to 8) 200 grams (7 oz) angel hair pasta 1 packet of filo pastry sheets (6 sheets, mine was 40x40 centimeters) 500 grams (17.5 oz) farmers cheese (do not substitute with cottage cheese!) 200 mililiters (6.7 fl oz) sour cream 200 grams (7 oz) confectioners sugar + more for dusting 4 eggs (yolks and whites separated) 100 grams (3.5 oz) raisins /optional/ 1 packet (10 grams) vanilla sugar (0.32 oz) Grated zest of 1 lemon 80 grams (2.8 oz) butter, melted 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the angel hair pasta, stir gently and cook for a couple of minutes (see your packet instruction; do not overcook!) 2. When it's done, drain and rinse under cold running water to prevent sticking. Let it drain in a colander and set aside. 3. Place the farmers cheese into a large bowl and crumble it with a fork. Set aside. 4. In another bowl combine the confectioners sugar with the egg yolks and stir until it's well combined, light and fluffy. 5. Pour this egg-mixture over the farmers cheese, add the sour cream, raisins (optional), vanilla sugar and grated lemon zest. 6. Stir everything well then add the cooked angel hair pasta and stir again gently to combine it with the cheese-mixture. 7. In a third bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. 8. Gently fold it into the pasta-mixture (try not to break the egg-whites). Set it aside 9. Brush you baking pan with melter butter all over. (I used a 20x30x6 centimeter baking pan) 10. Place your first filo-pastry sheet into the buttered baking pan, then arrange it well, gently pushing the sheet to the sides (never mind if the filo tears here and there...). The filo sheet should be a little bit bigger then the tray. 11. Brush it with melted butter, place the second sheet over and repeat this process with the third sheet too – buttering them in between. 12. Pour the pasta-farmers cheese mix into the pan, arrange it to have an even layer. 13. Fold the overlaying filo-sheets over the pasta at all four sides. 14. Cover it with a sheet of filo-pastry (cut to the same size as the baking pan). 15. Now, brush it with melted butter, place a filo over, brush, another filo and brush. 16. Put it into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes at 180C (356F). 17. When the time is over take it out of the oven, let it cool a little then cut into 6 (or more) squares with a sharp knife. 18. Serve with confectioners sugar dusted over. 19.
