Thanks for the reply.  You are no doubt correct

Ingredients

Butter to grease pan
8 ounces medium egg noodles, preferably high-quality pappardelle
1 ½ cups cottage cheese (with curds, not creamed or whipped) or farmer cheese
1 ½ cups sour cream
½ medium onion, finely minced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
¼ cup chives, sliced

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the inside of a 2 or 2 1/2-quart casserole or gratin dish.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain the noodles, put in a medium bowl, and toss with cottage or farmer cheese, sour cream, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and salt and pepper.
Spoon into the buttered dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan and chives. Bake until golden and crusty on top, 35 to 40 minutes.

I just read the comments and one person posted that the sauce was cloying and too much.....so maybe using the whole 12 oz noodles and being shy 1/4 cup may not matter....
I'll report back after I make this.

Wallycat-Kugel is usually fairly forgiving so if you are bit shy on the dairy, you will probably be fine. This looks similar to my Nana's savory kugel which is very good. I hope it turns out for you. Let us know.

Thanks Wallycat! As for what I am serving.....probably nothing! My kids are all in college now so the nest is empty and my father in law (and girlfriend) are out of the country. Typically my husband and I go to temple. I have been running the children's services every year for the last 4-5 yrs. for both Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur at our synagogue (I teach Hebrew school there, too). Then later that day, our synagogue has a pot luck "tashlich" service at a local park where everyone brings their own dinners plus one dish to share or dessert. BTW....tashlich is a service in which you throw bread in a lake/body of water to symbolize 'casting your sins" away. It is a short, nice service and then we all eat!! I usually make a dessert.

I made the kugel last night. Very forgiving, indeed! It was good. Would I call it a wow? Probably not but what's not to love about dairy/fat/carb combos!
Comfort food at its best.
