Step 5

Add noodles and mix well. Gently fold egg whites to noodle mixture.

Step 6

Spread half the noodle mixture into the pan. Add a layer of the cranberry sauce. Add the remaining noodles. Sprinkle with a very light dusting of cinnamon on top.

Bake 50-55 minutes, or until desired crispiness on top.
