Leek and Zucchini Noodle Kugel image

From Vegetarian Times sometime in the 90s. A savory, not sweet kugel for those like me who prefer cinnamon and raisins in dessert, not dinner. When I first found this recipe, I grated the zucchini with a hand grater. Slicing and grating attachments on the food processor cut prep time to just a few minutes.
