 This Romanian macaroni pudding with cottage cheese and raisins is a
 nostalgic, comforting dessert made by combining slightly undercooked
 pasta with a sweet cheese mixture, raisins, and lemon zest. Baked
 until golden on top, it's soft inside and slightly crispy outside.

 Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

 Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water, but remove it from the
 heat 2 minutes before the recommended cooking time. Drain and set
 aside.

 In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, crumbled telemea, sugar,
 yogurt, eggs, vanilla essence, lemon zest, and raisins. Mix well.

 Add the warm, drained pasta into the cheese mixture and stir until
 well coated.

 Grease a deep oven-safe baking dish with butter or line it with
 parchment paper.

 Pour in the macaroni mixture and smooth the top with a spatula.

 Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.

 Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
