For an even deeper flavor, consider roasting the butternut squash with a drizzle of maple syrup. If you prefer a richer kugel, use whole eggs instead of egg whites. Toasting the pecans before chopping will enhance their nutty flavor. The Kugel can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one baking sheet and one 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

Step
50 mins
Bake the butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, in the preheated oven until tender, about 50 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
04
Step
20 mins
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Beat eggs and egg whites lightly in a large bowl. Stir in the noodles and onion. Scoop the flesh from the butternut squash into the noodle mixture. Season with rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Pour mixture into the prepared 9x12-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
