Mary and Max: Yiddels Noodle Kugel
On Tuesdays, Max has Yiddels Noodle Kugel. It’s a traditional Passover dish and it’s quite similar to bread pudding but instead of bread, it’s made with egg noodles. I didn’t grow up eating noodle kugel and I have to admit the idea was so odd to me when I first researched what this dish was. The end result was to my surprise, quite delicious! I don’t claim this recipe to be traditional but I’m very happy with how to came out. Please enjoy.
