Pecan Noodle Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish that is popular during holidays or special occasions. It is believed to have originated in Eastern Europe and then spread across the globe. The dish is a sweet kugel made with broad egg noodles, eggs, and brown sugar. The pecans give it a nutty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the sugar. The dish is often served warm and is a hit with both children and adults alike.
