Renee's Noodle Pudding

I was working at Bloomies at the time....

and we were having one of our co-worker {at work} parties

and this woman { Claire} came in with this noodle pudding.

I had had noodle puddings before....

BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE.

I know I should call it Claire's Noodle Pudding but.....

Claire Shmare - It's Mine Now

In my life I have had noodle puddings....

never like this one.

Usually they are dry and rubbery - yuck.

So.....

I begged and pleaded for the recipe and finally got it.

I am going to share it with you before the winter is over.

Because

I do really see this as a warm and cozy comfort food.

And

I urge you to try it.

It is really easy.

Your family members and friends will love you for making it,

and be prepared to pass out the recipe.

You have my permission to rename it.

hahahahah

The thing i like about this recipe is that it is 

SO FLEXIBLE.

Here Goes:

Get a 9 x 13" pan or something gorgeous would work better.

8 - 12 oz of egg noodles {wide}

cook & drain

in a separate mixing bowl;

1/2 lb of butter or margarine

2/3 cup sugar

8 oz sour cream

4 eggs

use the whole eggs, but

**beat the egg whites separately 

2/3 cup of milk 

1/4 lb of cream cheese

1/2 lb of cottage cheese or RICOTTA cheese

1 teas vanilla

Mix noodles and ingredients together

Bake 30 minutes @ 350 degrees

Take out and apply TOPPING

1-2 cups of frosted flakes

and 3/4 cup of brown sugar mixture

Spread evenly across the top of noodles.

Bake again to brown the top @ 350 degrees

no more than 30 minutes

BTW 

The next day it is just as delicious!!!

Now you can fool around and make a much more tidy topping

as shown above by substituting the frosted flakes with

YUM

Almonds & Powdered Sugar!!

How Pretty.

And when you get real good at this you can make in a mold.

You can also make it as a dinner using salmon or tuna

with peas and pearl onions.

Just reduce the sugar a little.

and use an appropriate topping.

Just serve with a great salad - what could be better?

Experimentation is what makes a great cook right?

Let me know if you come up with a great main dish recipe.
