Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or melted butter.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the fine egg noodles according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold the cooked noodles into the egg mixture until evenly coated. If you’re using raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy your Passover classic kugel!
