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.

8 ounces wide egg noodles
1 cup dark raisins
5 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1/3 cup sugar

  • Add your favorite mix-ins, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • Bake the kugel in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
