[Guest post by Deb’s mom!] Last year, I briefly told you the epic of how my mother jokes that she married my father for his family’s noodle kugel recipe. Nonetheless then, as if correct to be cruel, I attempted my safe roam on it with cream cheese and dried cherries. Used to be it scrumptious? Oh, heck yeah. Are you lengthy late to safe a taste of the particular deal? Most surely so. Please welcome my mother herself right here as we say time in her first-ever guest post, eventually sharing with you the noodle kugel recipe you also can very correctly be owed.
Rising up in a German family, I had many noodle puddings. Quickly after turning into engaged to my now-husband, we dangle been at a family buffet celebration, where every thing became selfmade and superbly displayed. It became at their celebration that I first encountered the noodle pudding. I believed this became the ideally suited food I had ever tasted.
I asked a relative for the recipe on the self-discipline. There became a host of commotion amongst the of us at the celebration that day, and as I really dangle been telling my daughters for the previous 30 years, the aunt told me that I’d ought to marry my now-husband to safe the recipe. The rest is historical previous.
I really dangle in general acknowledged that if I dangle been stranded on an island and would maybe well ideally suited take one food with me, it’d be this version of noodle pudding. You be the resolve.

Deb expose: Your baking time would maybe well also fair, clearly, vary. Test for doneness at one hour and scurry from there. Our oven, constantly running frosty, took practically two hours to bake this. At home, my moms inferno of an oven does it in an hour.
Concerning the topping: Okay, so apparently, the recent version of this recipe has the cherry pie filling (from! a! can!) as a topping and apparently, my father says that some segments of my family aloof bake it this methodology. I really dangle but to sight it, and my mother has never feeble it.
