Subject: German dish
Good morning Phaed,
I enjoy your website a lot. Thank you for keeping it.
When I was a child my father would make a specific dinner every now and then.
I don't know what the real name of it was, and I'm sure we all said it incorrectly,
but we called it 'Catsnifla'. (cats-nif-la) my father was of German descent, so
I'm thinking it was a German dish.
He would make ravioli pasta and fill it with dry curd cottage cheese. Then, if
I remember correctly, the 'sauce' was fresh bread, cubed and sautéed in a lot of
butter until crispy. I remember all 5 children raving over it. I have tried to
make it a few times but it's never the same as dads. Would you, by chance, have
any recipe like this? I really don't know if there were onions or garlic, or any
other spice along with it. The last time I made it, it just seemed really
greasy-gross and I don't remember it being greasy-gross.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Kathleen
Hi Kathleen,
Well, I scoured our German cookbooks and several German recipe sites, but I cannot
find any dish with a name that would sound like "catsnifla".
There is a dish called "käsenudeln", but it is "cheese-noodles" - something like
macaroni & cheese made with noodles and emmentaler cheese.
As for something like a ravioli stuffed with cottage cheese, there is "varenikje",
but it does not have the bread cubes topping that you describe. See:
Cottage Cheese
Varenikje

Hi Phaedrus,
Re: the "Catsnifla" dish
Look at the last recipe--It doesn't have the name, but the dish sounds close:
German-Russian “Ravioli”
Margaret
Looks right to me, Margaret. The Southern Russian - Germans call them "Käseknöpfle".
That's phonetically pretty close to "catsnifla", and it does have the breadcrumb topping.
I sent the url on to Kathleen, so we'll see.

Hi. Requesting recipe from Bizarro Italian Cafe in Seattle. Called Clam Linguini.
Ingredients: clams, white wine butter sauce, pancetta and jalapenos.
Thanks Darlene
Hello Darlene,
They have the Clam Linguine and other recipes right on their site at: Bizarro Italian Cafe
Phaed
Bizzarro Clam Linguine
1 Cup Pancetta
4 Jalapeños
3 Tablespoons Crushed Garlic
1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
3 Tablespoons Flat leaf Parsley ( chopped )
1 Lb Fresh Linguine
4 lbs Manila Clams
1/4 Cup Salt
1 Cup Dry White Wine
Roast jalapeños on baking sheet. 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until tender. Once jalapenos have cooled, remove stems, cut lengthwise, remove seeds and then dice.
In large bowl rinse clams under cool tap water with a 1/4 cup of salt for 5 minutes. Discard any open clams.
In large skillet on medium heat add pancetta and toss until crispy, stir in garlic, then add wine before the garlic browns.
Remove from heat and set aside for 2 minutes.
Add clams, return to heat and cover.
When first clam starts to open (approximately 2-3 minutes) add butter and 2 tablespoons parsley.
Cover and cook until all clams open (again, around 2-3 minutes).
Discard any clams that remain closed.
Drop linguine in boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain and toss in with clams, bring it all back up to heat and allow the mixture to thicken.
Top with parsley and serve.

Hello George,
Sorry, I had no success with this. Apparently, no one has cracked the code,
and they, of course, don't tell.
