SUPER SPINACH AND ONION KUGEL
I snuck a bite of the spinach mix before I combined it with the noodles, and it was really tasty. I knew I'd like this dish once cooked. I did cover this with tinfoil about halfway through baking to make sure the noodles didn't get too hard. This was a big hit in the Test Kitchen!

MUSHROOM-SPINACH MATZOH KUGEL IN MUFFIN PANS
Individual kugels are baked in muffin tins for easy serving on a buffet. This can be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken. I started making these several years ago to bring to a Passover seder with friends and family, and have improved on the recipe over the years. All of the slicing and chopping can be done in the food processor, and the recipe goes together fast. Can be made ahead and reheated. I've never tried freezing them, but that would probably work, too.

- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to spinach, you can also add other vegetables to your kugel, such as zucchini, carrots, or onions.
- Add some spices and herbs: A little bit of garlic, onion, salt, and pepper will help to flavor your kugel. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives.
