Noodle kugel with raisins is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood being often cooked in the Hungarian community in Transylvania. This dessert is a combination of boiled noodles with cottage cheese that is then baked in the oven, simple and very tasty.

Equipment

1 Soup Pot
1 strainer
2 mixing bowl
1 electric mixer
1 baking tray

Ingredients

500 g fresh tagliatelle or tagliatelle or fettuccine pasta
1 kg cheese cream or cottage cheese or curd cheese
3 pieces eggs free range
70 g raisins or sultanas
100 g sugar granulated or powdered
1 pieces lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla essence or extract
¼ tsp sea salt kosher

Instructions

Put the noodles in boiling water with a little salt and boil for about five minutes. Pour the noodles into a strainer to drain and let them cool a bit.
Put the cream cheese in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, salt and vanilla essence.
Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese with the ingredients, until all the sugar is dissolved. Add the raisins that I previously kept a little in hot water to rehydrate.
In another bowl with the help of the electric mixer, beat the egg whites until get a consistent foam.
In a larger bowl pour the cream cheese over the tagliatelle. With a wooden spoon mix lightly until the cheese reaches everywhere and cover the noodles well.
Pour half of the egg white foam and also easily incorporate it with a wooden spoon.
Prepare an oven tray with baking paper and pour the whole composition into it.
Cover with aluminium foil and put it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and add the rest of the remaining egg white foam on the top and put the tray back in the oven, for another ten minutes until it acquires a beautiful golden colour.
After cooling, cut the noodle kugel with raisins into cubes or bars, sprinkled it with powdered sugar and serve with blueberry jam.
