Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease a baking pan.
-
Boil water, cook noodles per package directions, then drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, continuously stir oil and sugar until a bubbly, liquid caramel forms.
-
Immediately pour the hot caramel over the noodles, add salt and pepper, and stir until thoroughly blended.
-
Let the mixture cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time.
-
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until nicely browned.
-
Remove the kugel from the pan immediately after baking; serve hot, warm, or cold.
