Pasta with Semolina & Apricot Jam (Hungarian Grízes Tészta)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
Boil pasta in salted water until just tender (al dente).
Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Semolina
In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat.
Gradually whisk in semolina to prevent lumps.
Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Add sugar and a pinch of salt; mix well.
3. Combine Pasta & Semolina
Add cooked pasta to the semolina and stir until well coated.
Let it cool slightly — it should be creamy but not runny.
4. Serve
Spoon pasta onto plates.
Spread a layer of apricot jam on top (or swirl through).
Optional toppings:
Small knobs of butter
Cinnamon sugar
Crushed walnuts or almonds
💡 Tips
Adjust the sweetness of the semolina to your liking.
For a richer version, cook semolina in part milk and part cream.
Can be served warm or cold — tastes amazing either way.
