Ingredients

• 340 grams spaghetti
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 115 grams cream cheese
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

If using raisins, fold them into the custard mixture.

Step 5

Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl with the custard mixture and toss to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the kugel is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a sweet entrée or side dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
