EXCITING NOODLE KUGEL

Exciting Noodle Kugel image

This savory kugel, a Jewish baked noodle pudding, comes from a 1950 spiral-bound cookbook that was compiled by the women of a synagogue in suburban Larchmont, N.Y. They called it Exciting Baked Noodles, and it included what were then considered secret ingredients: Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce. To update it, use high-quality pappardelle egg noodles, which add richness. A sprinkling of chives brings flecks of color to the finished casserole.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles
½ cup margarine
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
ground cinnamon, for dusting

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Place noodles in a large bowl. Mix margarine into the noodles until melted. Stir in the eggs, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Pour noodle mixture into a 9x13 inch baking pan, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover the kugel and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients. This will give you plenty of room to work and prevent the kugel from becoming too dense.
Be sure to grease the baking dish before adding the kugel. This will prevent the kugel from sticking to the dish and make it easier to remove.
Bake the kugel in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the kugel cooks evenly throughout.
Let the kugel cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the kugel to set and make it easier to slice.
