Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
⅓ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Combine the noodles, onion, eggs, remaining vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes.

REBECCA'S SWEET LOKSHEN (NOODLE) KUGEL



Rebecca's Sweet Lokshen (Noodle) Kugel image

My hubby says this is the best kugel ever--high praise as he normally won't touch kugel. Lovely!:) Enjoy!! Update: I've sort of doubled this recipe (used a 4.8 qt. or #234 Pyrex pan (15 x 10 x 3 inches), still used same # of eggs, noodles, sugar, raisins, and cottage cheese but dbld. the cream cheese and vanilla; as a variation replaced the applesauce with sour cream plus I threw in about 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese. Great!! By the way the topping is optional and then no need to cover pan while baking just check often to make sure top does not burn. To serve cut the kugel into small squares and enjoy either warm, cold or at room temperature. Note: The nutmeg and cinnamon are to taste (I use half a pinch of nutmeg and/or about one teaspoon of cinnamon).

Time 1h45m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles (such as Maneschewitz)
6 eggs, beaten
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 lbs cottage cheese
16 ounces applesauce (I use cinnamon flavored)
nutmeg
cinnamon
1 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
2 -3 cups frosted flakes, crushed (or corn flakes, enough to cover kugel)
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water, according to package directions. Rinse the noodles with cold water and let drain in a colander.
  • Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla, sugar, sour cream, softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, and applesauce and beat with an electric mixer until combined.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir in the drained noodles, nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins, and melted butter, mixing well to coat.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture evenly into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. I transfer the kugel to a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any overflow.
  • Make the topping: in a medium bowl, combine the crushed frosted flakes (or cornflakes) with enough melted butter to moisten. Add a little cinnamon if you like.
  • Spread evenly over the top of the kugel.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for one hour.
  • Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes, checking frequently to make sure top does not burn (cover if top is getting too crispy, and bake until done).
  • Let kugel cool slightly before cutting into squares to serve. Makes 12-24 servings (depending on size of squares). May be eaten warm, cold, or at room temperature.Enjoy!
