--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  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.
