Recipe - Dried Fruit Kugel

8 ounce Medium wide egg noodles
8 ounce Lowfat cottage cheese (1%)
11 ounce Mixed dried fruit; coarsely
chopped
8 ounce Light cream cheese; cut to
small chunks
2 cup Lowfat milk (1%)
One fourth cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
One half teaspoon Salt
2 lg Eggs; slightly beaten

Prepare the noodles as label directs. Don not add salt to the water.
Drain.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor with the
knife blade attached, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.

In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the dried fruit and the
remaining ingredients. Stir in the noodles. Pour the mixture into an
ungreased shallow 2 One half quart baking dish.

Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes. (I like the crunchy noodles on top
when the kugel is baked uncovered. However, if you prefer a more delicate
top, cover the dish loosely with foil before baking.) The mixture will
look wet in the center but will set upon standing, about 10 minutes.
Removed to a wire rack to cool slightly. If not serving the kugel warm,
cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.
