Do I cook the noodles first?

I'm looking at the onion noodle kugel recipe. I want to make kugel for 100, for my daughters shabbos sheva brachos and This recipe looks perfect for me. It doesn't mention to cook the noodles first, and I have other recipes wtih x-fine noodles that don't require cooking of the noodles first. I just want to double check - do you cook the noodles first or do you put the raw noodles into the liquidey mixture and bake it just like that? Thanks! Esther
