Ingredients
Egg Noodles, enriched, 16 oz Portabella Mushrooms, 20 oz, thinly slicedOnions, raw, 3 medium, thinly slicedRicotta Cheese, part skim milk, 30 oz Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese (Imitation Cream Cheese), 16 tbsp (one container)3 large eggsCanola Oil, 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar, 1/2 cup Molasses, blackstrap, 3 tbsp Stevia, about 6 packets worthGarlic, 4 tsp Ginger, ground, 1 tbsp Pepper, black, 1.5 tsp Morton Lite Salt, 3 tsp Cumin (ground), .5 tsp Turmeric, ground, 2 tsp Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar, 1 tbsp
Directions
Boil noodles with a teaspoon of salt according to package directions, minimum time--maybe 6 minutes. Drain. While you're waiting for the water to boil slice mushrooms and onions (food processor makes this go much faster!). In a big pan or wok, sautee in oil, add sugar, stevia and molasses, until it starts to get nice and brown. Add the other ingredients except the eggs and cheeses, continue sauteeing until everything is very well cooked. Then dump in the ricotta and tofutti cream cheese. Use your spatula or spoon to mash the cheese into the mushroom/onion mixture and blend it well. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs with a fork then add them to the pan. When everything in the pan is well-mixed, dump it all into the pot with the noodles and mix well with a spoon. Grease a large lasagna pan, and dump the mixture in. Bake at 400 covered for about an hour and a half, and then uncovered for about another half hour. When the noodles at the top are starting to turn brown, you know it's done. Let it cool for about half an hour, and then you should be able to cut it into about 20 squares. The eggs make it hold together. (That's more or less the definition of a kugel--basically any combination of ingredients held together by eggs.)

    I tried making just a quarter of the recipe, but it cooked in 75 minutes, even at a lower temperature [350F instead of 400F]. The flavor was still good, but I'll definitely watch the cooking time and temp more closely next time. - 2/17/12
