Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until tender, about 5 minutes; drain and return to the pot.

In a food processor or blender, blend together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, sugar, melted butter, and salt.

Pour the egg mixture over the cooked noodles and stir until well combined.

Drain the raisins and stir them into the noodle mixture.

Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking oil and pour the noodle mixture into the dish.

Top with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon.

Bake for about 60 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the center is set and the tips of the noodles are golden brown.

Let the kugel rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
