Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz wide egg noodles and cook for 7 minutes until just al dente. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Pour the pumpkin mixture over the drained noodles and toss gently until every noodle is coated.
Step 4: Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the noodle mixture evenly. Drizzle an additional 2 tbsp honey over the top.
Step 5: Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
