Method

1

Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 200-250˚C (400-500˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.
2

Cook your macaroni noodles for 6 mins in salted boiling water, or al dente according to the box.
3

In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, yoghurt, mustard powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
4

Drain the cooked noodles and add to the cheese mix. Stir to coat the macaroni well.
5

Grease your Ooni Cast Iron Skillet Pan with butter, then turn your pasta mix into the pan. Use a spatula or back of a spoon to coat the mixture evenly. Cover with aluminium foil.
6

Place the pan in your Ooni pizza oven at the farthest corner from the flames. Turn the pan every 5 minutes, and after 20 mins remove the foil and top with a couple cubes butter and fresh grated parmesan to taste. Return the pan for a further 5-10 minutes or so, until the top is caramelised and golden brown to your liking.
7

Remove the pan and serve right away for a true festive treat!
