Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Medium egg noodles
1½ tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 large Onion; chopped
2 Cloves garlic; chopped
½ pounds Small mushrooms; sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon Paprika
2 larges Carrots; peeled, coarsely grated
1 small Yellow crookneck squash; coarsely grated
1 small Zucchini; coarsely grated
¼ cup Chopped parsley
1 large Egg
2 larges Egg whites
⅓ cup Chicken broth
3 tablespoons Finely chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water uncovered over high heat, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes or until nearly tender but slightly firm. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain well. Transfer to a bowl.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute about 7 minutes or until golden. Add the garlic, mushrooms, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, and ¾ teaspoon paprika. Saute about 3 minutes, stiring often.

Add the mushroom mixture, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini and parsley to the noodles and mix well. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the egg whites and broth, add to the noodles and mix well. Oil a 5- cup baking dish and add the noodle mixture. Sprinkle with pecans, then with remaining ¼ teaspoon paprika. Bake 45 minutes or until set and lightly browned on top.

Serve hot, from the baking dish.
