1 lb. (16 oz.) wide noodles (not lasagna)
1/4 lb. (1 stick) melted butter (1/2 amount goes in the mix-some in the bottom of the pan(s) - the rest on top)
1 lb. creamy cottage cheese
4 eggs (beat together)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon (add more to taste)
6 tbsp. sour cream (8 oz. container)
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. raisins (add more to taste)

Cook the noodles first (al dente) and mix together with all the other ingredients. Spread in a buttered pan (or in 2-3 smaller pans - some for now and later), top with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 1 hour (top should be brown and crispy). This is a great "made ahead and freeze" dish. Can be served as a sidedish or dessert.
