Sweet noodle kugel, known by some as lukshon kugel, is one of the most enduring Ashkenaz Jewish foods, and with this easy recipe you too can prepare it right at home. Noodle kugel is often made with dairy ingredients, but this version is dairy free, making it suitable to serve at a meat meal or for those with dairy allergies.

Directions

Prepare the Kugel

Bring water to a boil and add salt and noodles. Cook for 8–10 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water.

Combine noodles with remaining ingredients. Place into lined 9- x 13-inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. Cover with aluminum foil immediately to avoid hardening of crust.

Variations:

1. Omit cinnamon, add juice and rind of 1 lemon.

2. Omit bread crumbs, add 3/4 cup ground almonds or 1/2 cup ground walnuts.

3. Add raisins.
