EXCITING NOODLE KUGEL
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.

NOODLE AND APPLE KUGEL
This comforting kugel tastes much richer than it is, and it is certainly lighter than a traditional kugel (though it is not a low-calorie dessert). I've made this with Golden Delicious apples and with tarter varieties like Pink Lady; I liked it both ways.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Begin heating a large pot of water.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the apples. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until they begin to color and are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add salt to taste and the noodles. Cook al dente, a little firmer than you would want them if you were eating them right away. Drain through a colander and add to the pan with the apples (if using long flat noodles, cut them first with a scissors into shorter lengths). Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss together until the butter melts. Stir in the optional raisins. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sugar and beat together until the mixture is thick. Beat in the yogurt, vanilla, rum, nutmeg and about 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Add the noodles and apples and fold everything together. Scrape into the prepared baking dish. Push the pasta down into the egg and yogurt mixture (it will not be completely submerged, but try to cover as much as you can). Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the kugel is set and the sides are browned. There will always be some noodles on top that brown and become quite hard. You can remove these from the baked dish if you wish. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread uncooked noodles over bottom of prepared dish and sprinkle with raisins. Whisk eggs, sour cream, butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Whisk in milk and pour mixture over noodles. Let kugel stand 5 minutes.
- Mix cornflakes and brown sugar in bowl; sprinkle evenly over kugel.
- Bake kugel until set in center, about 1 hour. Cut kugel into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a crispy noodle kugel, use a combination of egg noodles and matzo meal. The matzo meal will help absorb the moisture from the eggs and milk, resulting in a firmer texture.
- If you want a more tender noodle kugel, use all egg noodles. This will result in a softer, more delicate texture.
- Be sure to cook the noodles al dente before adding them to the kugel mixture. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different add-ins. Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, and meat.
- Noodle kugel can be served hot or cold. It's also a great make-ahead dish, so you can enjoy it throughout the week.
Conclusion:
Noodle kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal, a holiday gathering, or a potluck. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a noodle kugel recipe that everyone will love.
