Noodle kugel is a traditional Jewish sweet or savory casserole made with noodles. This sweet kugel has the perfect blend of fruits and spices and can be served warm or cold. While traditionally served as a side dish, try serving as a dessert with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream on the side or even as a breakfast treat.
