This makes a very large kugel, use half the amount of ingredients for a smaller size.
500g fine noodles, vermicelli or angel's hair
200g unsalted butter
8 large eggs
400g caster sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch salt
1kg cottage cheese
Preheat the oven to gas mark 3/170C.
Cook the noodles and set aside. I try and get the proper lokshen for this, which are shorter strands of very, very fine noodles. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Beat the eggs.
Combine the warm or cooled, but not hot, melted butter with the sugar, vanilla, eggs, salt and cottage cheese. Add the noodles and mix well.
Put in a pan of approximately 23 x 32cm(3 and one-half litre capacity) and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes until the top is just golden where the buttery threads of pasta have caught in the heat.Let cool a little before cutting and serving.
