Pineapple Noodle Kugel

1. Cook the noodles according to package, but subtract 2-3 minutes from the time. The noodles will keep cooking in the oven, so DO NOT use them fully cooked. Drain, rinse and drain again.

2. While the noodles are cooking, mix together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, cottage cheese, crushed pineapple and juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Carefully add cooked noodles to egg mixture, folding until mixed well.

3. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Place the pineapple rings over the top (make patterns! decorate!).

4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes. Depending on your oven, you may want to cover with foil for the 1st half of the baking time. Make sure you remove for the last half so the kugel gets golden but not burnt or crunchy.
