Melissa's Modifications:
I've provided some modifications on ingredients to reduce/eliminate dairy and eggs. Eliminate gluten if intolerant by using gluten free noodles. Add ingredients as mentioned above to enhance the recipe.
In addition to the raisins, other options are thinly sliced apples, slivered almonds (or nut of your choice), or like my grandmother who used to add apricot jam!
