Pierogies Alfredo Recipes

PIEROGIES ALFREDO

Steps:

• Thaw pierogies in boiling water for five minutes, drain and keep warm.
• In the meantime,combine Alfredo sauce, ham and peas in a saucepan.
• Cook 10 minutes over medium heat, adding milk if too thick.
• Season with black pepper, pour sauce mixture over pierogies and top with Parmesan.

PIEROGIES WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the pierogies to a boil. Place pierogies in boiling water and cook through. Remove pierogies from heat and strain. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir until they are coated with butter. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and saute until the onions are soft and the mushrooms begin to give up their liquid. Remove the skillet from heat and add the sour cream and stir until just combined.
• In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked pierogies to the skillet and saute until browned. Transfer the pierogies to a serving platter and spoon the mushroom sauce on top.

CHICKEN PIEROGIES ALFREDO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook chicken if it isn't already cooked.
• Boil pierogies for 5 - 7 minutes, drain.
• In large bowl, combine cooked pierogies, cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, frozen peas, pimentos, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir thoroughly; a rubber spatula works well to stir without breaking the pierogies.
• Pour mixture into ungreased casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan on top. Cover dish with foil.
• Bake 30 to 45 minutes at 350 with foil. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes, until top is browned.

PIEROGIES

Steps:

• Place the sour cream in a large bowl, and mix in flour to make a dough. Roll the dough out on a floured surface about 1/16 inch thick, and cut rounds about 3 1/2 inches across using a cookie cutter or a glass. Re-roll the unused dough to make more rounds, up to 4 times -- after that, it gets hard to work with.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of mashed potatoes in the center of each dough round, fold over into a half-moon shape, and press and seal the edges with a fork. Set the filled pierogies aside under a towel to prevent drying.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onions until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cooked onions and set aside, leaving butter in the skillet.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and carefully drop a few filled pierogies at a time into the boiling water. After they float to the surface, allow them to gently boil for about 4 minutes.
• Re-heat the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Gently scoop the pierogies out of the water (they break easily) and place them in the skillet to brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Place the fried pierogies on a buttered baking sheet, sprinkle them with the cooked onions, and keep warm in the oven on low setting until served.
