Directions

Cook noodles in boiling water until just tender. Drain and toss with
vegetable oil. Saute celery.

Combine sour cream and flour in a large bowl, mixing well. Stir in
cottage cheese, celery, green onions, and spices of your choice (salt
to taste). Fold noodles into mixture until well combined.

Lightly spray the inside of a 2-qt. casserole dish with a non-stick

Uncover and allow to cook 5 more minutes. Remove from oven and let
