Yes, they're boiled noodles. Also important to use only egg noodles, not italian pasta. For a textural twist you can use egg bow noodles.
My mom and sister use the extra wide, which curls on the edges. They layer the noodles down, then add the farmer cheese (or ricotta) and sugar and raisins. Then another layer of noodles, and repeat til it comes to the top of the casserole dish with noodles being the topmost layer.
Top the whole thing off with little smudges of softened butter dotted all over it, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. When it comes out, the top layer has a marvelous sugary crunch to it.
