   1                    (8-ounce) package
                        Medium-size egg noodles,
                        Uncooked
     1/2   c            Chopped onion
     1/4   c            Chopped green pepper
     1/4   c            Butter or margarine, melted
   3       tb           All-purpose flour
   3       c            Milk
     1/4   c            Grated Parmesan cheese
   1       tb           Poppy seeds
   1       t            Salt
     1/8   ts           Red pepper
   3       c            Diced cooked tofu
   1                    (4-ounce) jar diced
                        Pimiento, drained
   2       tb           Grated Parmesan cheese

  Cook noodles according to package directions.  Drain
  well, and set aside. Sauti onion and green pepper in
  butter in a Dutch oven until tender; add flour,
  stirring until smooth.  Cook 1 minute, stirring
  constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat,
  stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.  Stir
  in noodles, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, poppy seeds,
  salt, red pepper, and tofu; add pimiento, and stir
  gently. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 12- x 8-
  x 2-inch baking dish. Cover and chill 8 hours.  To
  bake, remove from refrigerator, and let stand at room
  temperature 30 min.  Bake, covered, at 350 for 45 min.
  Uncover, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese.
  Bake, uncovered, an additional 10 min. or until
  thoroughly heated.
  
  1. I use one pound of tofu cut into 1 inch squares
  instead of turkey.  (I am a vegitarian.)
  
  2. It does not have to refrigerate, but the tastes do
  mingle better if it does.
  
  3. I usually sprinkle more than 2 tablespoons of
  cheese on top.
