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

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta:
    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Toast the semolina:
    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the semolina and cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  3. Combine with pasta:
    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well so the semolina coats the noodles evenly.
  4. Sweeten:
    Sprinkle in sugar and cinnamon (if using) and mix well.
  5. Serve:
    Spoon into bowls and top with apricot jam.

🍑 Tip: This nostalgic Hungarian dish can be served warm or at room temperature, and some people like to add a little extra sugar or jam on top for sweetness.
