Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 teaspoons salt
12 ounces capellini or 12 ounces other thin spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F degrees. Bring 6 cups of water to boil in a pot, add ½ teaspoon of the salt and cook pasta for about 5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water, and place in a bowl.
  • Add pepper, remaining salt, eggs, and 2/3 cup of sugar. Mix well.
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan and add remaining 1/3 cup of the sugar. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and starts to turn brown. Keep an eye on this, for once it begins to color, it will get dark quickly. Pour caramelized sugar over pasta, mixing well. Don't worry if some of the caramel hardens, it will soften later.
  • Grease a Bundt pan or a a 9 x 13 baking dish.and pour spaghetti inches Cover with tin foil and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 2 hours. If you like a crustier top, take the foil off for the last half hour of cooking.

I'm on a low-carb diet. Do you have any suggestions for how I could make this recipe more low-carb?

I'm allergic to peppers. Do you think I could substitute another vegetable, like zucchini or carrots?

This recipe seems a bit complicated. I'm not sure if I'm up for the challenge.

I love the idea of using peppers in kugel. I'm going to try this recipe next time I have guests over.

This recipe is missing some important ingredients. It doesn't call for any salt or pepper, and it doesn't say how much oil to use.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my kugel. It turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This kugel is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some zucchini and carrots that I had in the fridge, and it turned out delicious.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of peppers, but I'm so glad I did. The peppers add a subtle sweetness and smokiness that really complements the other flavors in the kugel.

This kugel was a hit at my Shabbat dinner! I loved the unique flavor combination of the peppers and the sweetness of the raisins.
