CINNAMON RAISIN KUGEL
Nothing beats a baked noodle melody with sweet raisins, cinnamon, sugar, and a mess of other great tasting add-ins. This was my request every year at our family gatherings. Sometimes I also add 3 ounces of maraschino cherries and an 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple.

CINNAMON-RAISIN NOODLE KUGEL
Kugel is a traditional baked Jewish "pudding" or "casserole." Most often, kugel is made from egg noodles or potatoes and can either be sweet or savory. A sweet kugel (like this one) commonly combines fruit, sour cream, cottage cheese and eggs with cooked noodles and the mixture is then baked to achieve a firm, custard-like consistency. The cinnamon-raisin flavor combination is a classic, but don't miss the cranberry-orange variation that follows the main recipe.

Steps:
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions, drain, add the butter and toss until the butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven, preheat to 350°F and generously butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Plump your raisins by soaking them in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, pineapple, vanilla, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the noodles and raisins and combine thoroughly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Uncover the kugel and sprinkle the top with panko crumbs, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Return to the oven until the crumbs are lightly toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into squares for serving. May be served warm, or at room temperature.
- Makes 12 servings
- Recipe Variation ~ Cranberry-Orange Noodle Kugel:
- Replace the raisins with dried cranberries, reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon, reduce the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon and add 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest. If desired, replace the panko crumbs with 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds.
