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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter to grease pan
8 ounces medium egg noodles, preferably high-quality pappardelle
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (with curds, not creamed or whipped) or farmer cheese
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chives, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the inside of a 2 or 2 1/2-quart casserole or gratin dish.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain the noodles, put in a medium bowl, and toss with cottage or farmer cheese, sour cream, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and salt and pepper.
  • Spoon into the buttered dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan and chives. Bake until golden and crusty on top, 35 to 40 minutes.

I'm vegan, so I substituted the dairy products in this recipe with plant-based alternatives. It worked great and the noodle kugel was still delicious.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the eggs in this recipe with flax eggs. It worked great and the noodle kugel was still delicious.

This noodle kugel was a little too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding some more liquid to the recipe.

This noodle kugel was a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of noodle kugel, but I tried this recipe and it was actually really good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This noodle kugel is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the noodles and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

I love that this noodle kugel is made with whole wheat noodles. It's a healthier option than traditional noodle kugel and it's still just as delicious.
