3 Extralg egg whites;

One half cup Egg substitute

Coat a 13by9by2inch glass baking dish or a 3quart oval casserole with
cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350F. Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a
large saucepan. Add noodles gradually, return to boil, reduce heat and
simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, combine
next 6 ingredients. Process until smooth. Drain noodles, return them to pot
and add cottage cheese mixture and pineapple with juice. Blend with a
slotted spoon.

Pour mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon, then with
melted margarine or nuts, if desired. Bake in the upper third of the oven
for 1 hour or until lightly browned. Cut in 12 squares and top with nonfat
sour cream if desired.

blueberry pie filling. Spoon on kugel before the last 10 minutes of cooking
time.

Notes: Harriet Roth, author of: Deliciously Healthy Jewish Cooking(Dutton,
1996), substitutes egg whites, nonfat sour cream and cottage cheese and
uses pineapple to replace much of the sugar. With a hint of cinnamon and
vanilla, this is one lowfat dish you needn't make excuses for.
