Pasta with Semolina & Apricot Jam (Hungarian Grízes Tészta)🇭🇺.

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Toast the Semolina

  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add semolina and toast gently, stirring constantly, until it becomes golden and aromatic (about 2–3 minutes).

3. Combine Semolina with Pasta

  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with semolina.
  • Sprinkle sugar over the mixture and stir to combine evenly.

4. Serve with Jam

  • Place a portion of the sweetened pasta on plates.
  • Spoon apricot jam on top or mix it lightly into the pasta.
  • Optional: dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

Tips:

  • You can use other fruit jams like plum, raspberry, or cherry if preferred.
  • For extra richness, add a little milk when combining the semolina and pasta.
  • This dish is often enjoyed as a quick dessert or a sweet breakfast treat in Hungary.

If you want, I can also give a quick 5-minute microwave version of Grízes Tészta for a single serving, perfect for a nostalgic snack anytime.

Do you want me to share that quick microwave version?
