7 1/2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
6 T. butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On stove top, cook noodles according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Gradually stir in milk and apricot nectar.
Drain noodles and return to the pan. Add cream cheese mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a 9″x13″ baking dish.
