Savory Noodle Kugel Recipes

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, herbs, hot pepper sauce and salt and pepper. Mix together well.
• In a large skillet, saute onion and green pepper in heated butter for about 5 minutes and add the noodles, stirring until well blended.
• Add the noodles to the cottage cheese mixture and pour the blend into a buttered 9" X 13" baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika for color if you like.
