- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 3-qt baking dish.
- Heat 6 Tbsp. of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in the onions and cook till very tender, 10 min. Add in the mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, the paprika and a dash of cayenne.
- Cook till the mushrooms are tender and the onions are browned, 10 min. If liquid remains in the pan, cook over high heat, stirring, a few min till it evaporates. (If you do not have a large sufficient skillet, you can divide the ingredients among 2 skillets.)
- Cook the noodles uncovered in a large pot of boiling salted water over high heat till they're nearly tender but firmer than usual, 5 min. Drain, rinse them with cool water and drain well. Transfer them to a large bowl.
- Add in the mushroom mix and mix well. Add in the cottage cheese and lowfat sour cream; mix well. Taste, and season the mix generously. Stir in the Large eggs.
- Pour the noodle mix into the dish. Dot the top with the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Bake the kugel uncovered till set and lightly browned on top, 1 hour. Serve from the baking dish.
- This recipe yields 8 to 12 servings.
- Comments: Like macaroni and cheese, noodle kugel is a satisfying comfort food and has always been one of the dishes I love most. This kugel gains its good flavor from well-browned onions and mushrooms, and therefore the sauteing step should not be rushed. Even when I substitute oil for all or possibly part of the butter to saute/fry the vegetables and use low-fat versions of the lowfat sour cream and cottage cheese, the kugel is delicious. Still, for Shavuot, I follow my family's tradition and prepare it the old-fashioned way.
