NOODLE KUGEL

Ok, I know, Noodle Kugel is not Italian, it is a Jewish dish.  And a good one it is.  I love this dish because you can have it for Breakfast, for Lunch with a salad, for Dinner with meat and a salad or for a snack.  It is truly one of those wonderful comfort foods.  Also kids love it because it is sweet.  It is just one of those wonderful dishes.  This is, of course, my Italian take on the dish.  I hope you will try it soon  I know your family will love it.

NOODLE KUGEL (ITALIAN STYLE)

1 pkg wide Egg Noodles
3/4 stick of butter
1 small container Ricotta Cheese
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup Cream
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Raisins

Cook the noodles just until al dente.  Melt the butter and when the noodles are done, drain them and put into a large bowl.  Pour in the melted butter.  In another bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the ricotta until smooth, add the eggs one at a time and mix, add the rest of the ingredients, beating on low as you go.  When thoroughly mixed, pour over the noodles and mix.  Pour all into a buttered 13x9 baking dish, and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Cut into squares and serve warm.  You can also eat it cold the next day (if any is left over) or warm for a minute in the microwave.

Thanks for stopping in today
