- 4 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and oil a 9×13 glass or metal baking dish.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, carrots, eggs, raisins, cinnamon, and sugar. Add the cooked and drained egg noodles and combine. Pour into the greased baking dish and bake covered with aluminum foil for 30 minutes.

Using Leftovers:
Egg noodles generally come in 12 ounce packages. Cook the whole package and set aside the leftovers for a stir fry. Sauté chopped veggies in a large pan, add a little soy sauce, and set aside in the pan. Add 3 beaten eggs and cook until set. Toss in noodles.
