What does everyone say about Italians? That we only eat pasta!
So I tried to really live on pasta alone for a whole week: breakfast, lunch and dinner!
The result? I didn't expect it!
As promised the recipe of the "Maccheroni Dolci" from Umbria
Ingredients:
150 g pasta (macaroni - rigatoni- tortiglioni)
200 g breadcrumbs, not too fine
200 g chopped walnuts
150 g granulated sugar
25 g of sweet cocoa
25 g of bitter cocoa
Cinnamon
100 g Alchermes
One shot of rum (I used just the flavor)
Grated zest of half a lemon
Preparation:
Place breadcrumbs in a bowl, add sugar, sweet cocoa and bitter cocoa.
Then add the walnuts, and grated lemon peel and mix.
Pour in the rum (or just the flavor), Alchermes and mix well
Keep a bowl of the mixture aside
Boil the pasta, drain it (keep some of the cooking water aside) add it to the sauce and mix.
If necessary, add a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water and mix well. and transfer to a deep serving dish.
Fill the dish and cover with the topping kept aside
Let stand in the refrigerator for about 12 hours before serving
Enjoy!
