Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams spaghetti
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 115 grams cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.75 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
If using raisins, fold them into the custard mixture.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl with the custard mixture and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a sweet entrée or side dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
