About this recipe:
Noodle kugel is of the many dishes you may find at Passover Seder and always brings smiles when it makes an appearance. This year we gave this classic dish a Mediterranean spin. This spanakopita-inspired version of noodle kugel is loaded with spinach, onions, herbs, feta, and, of course, EVOO. Trust us, this one is a keeper!
