2/3 cup sourcream( I used fat free)
1 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/8 tsp paprika
3 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled ( I used real bacon pieces from the bacon bits aisle)

Cook macaroni noodles, drain and place in greased baking dish. In small sauce pan melt 1 tbs butter and saute onion. Add wine and simmer until mixture is reduced by half.

Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in large saucepan, whisk in flour until smooth, gradually whisk in milk, bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2minutes or until thickened. Stir in salt and 2 cups cheese, continue to stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat, stil in cottage cheese & sourcream. Pour over macaroni, mix well.
