Author Notes: There’s no need to wait for a Spacial Holiday to enjoy this wonderful traditional
Jewish dish.
Variations of it are endless. I use some times deferent cheeses (cream cheese or Mascarpone) and also mix in Creamed Mushrooms or bite size pieces of leftover pot roast for a simple mane dish.
We cook noodles until tender to achieve pudding consistency and some times beat egg whites separately.
