MOCK NOODLE KUGEL (USING SPAGHETTI SQUASH; LOW-CARB, FAT-FREE)

Mock Noodle Kugel (Using Spaghetti Squash; Low-Carb, Fat-Free) image

I based this recipe on one I found in Nechama Cohen's "Enlitened Kosher Cooking." I chose the sweet variation, so that's what I'm posting; but if you want a savory kugel, leave out the Splenda, cinnamon and nutmeg and replace it with one peeled, sliced medium onion and two peeled, minced cloves of garlic sauteed in a tablespoon of olive oil. Don't be deterred by the cooking time -- most of it is spent waiting for the squash to cool, or the kugel to bake!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (2 lb) spaghetti squash
2 eggs
2 egg whites
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Splenda granular (sugar substitute)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

Prepare the spaghetti squash: split it in half and remove the seeds and strings. Place the halves cut-side down in 1/4 c water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for seven to ten minutes or until the flesh is soft. Allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 400. Line an 8" square baking pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Using a fork, scrape the flesh out of the squash halves. Place the "spaghetti" in a large bowl.
Lightly beat the eggs and egg whites; add them, along with the rest of the ingredients, to the bowl with the squash. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Pour into the prepared pan and lighting spray the top with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes at 400, then lower the heat to 350 and bake for another 30 minutes, until the kugel starts to turn a bit golden.

Time 35m

Yield 2 cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package shirataki noodles (I like the angle hair best )
2 egg whites
6 (1/16 ounce) packets Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray 1 quart dish (oven proof) with pam ( or similar ).
Rinse, drain and pat dry shirataki noodles.
Wisk together egg whites, splenda, cinnamon & nutmeg.
Add shirataki noodles, stir to combine, pour into dish.
Bake 30 minutes or until egg whites are done.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are starchy and will hold their shape well. Avoid using waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Golds, as they will break down too easily.
Shred the potatoes finely: The finer the potatoes are shredded, the better the kugel will be. Use a food processor or a box grater with the smallest holes to shred the potatoes.
Do not overcook cauliflower: Cauliflower shouldn't be cooked more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, it loses its "al dente" bite and may become soggy.
Season the kugel well: Do not be afraid to add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Use a well-greased baking dish: This will help to prevent the kugel from sticking. You can also use a non-stick baking dish.
Bake the kugel until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the kugel is cooked through and has a crispy top.
Let the kugel cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

A mock noodle kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and vegetables, and it is also a good option for a vegetarian or vegan meal. So experiment with different ingredients and seasonings to find your perfect mock noodle kugel recipe.
