Broccoli and Mushroom Noodle Kugel

Here's another kugal recipe from Second Redhead in the Kitchen. This takes some prep work, but it is very good.

2 stalks fresh broccoli, chopped
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 T. butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. white wine
3 eggs
3 c. ricotta or cottage cheese
1 c. sour cream
3 c. wide noodles
2 T wheat germ or breadcrumbs
1 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute broccoli, mushrooms and onions in butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add wine. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and whisk in ricotta or cottage cheese and sour cream. Cook noodles until just underdone, and drain well. Mix noodles, vegetables and cheese mixture together. Put in greased 9 X 13-inch pan and top with breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.

I didn't add the wine (since I just didn't have any), and it still came out very good.
