Pasta Pudding Recipes

PASTA RAISINS PUDDING WITH CARAMELIZED APPLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine cooked pasta with raisins, zest and melted butter and spread into a shallow buttered 2 quart baking dish.
• Beat sugar into eggs and whisk in milk and orange juice and pour over pasta. Set baking pan in a bain marie and bake for about an hour or until set.
• While this is baking saute the apples in 2 tablespoons butter. Add sugar and cinnamon and saute over low heat until apples are tender and caramelized.
• Remove pasta pudding from oven and let set 10 minutes before serving; serve topped with apples and a dusting of powdered sugar.

MACARONI PUDDING

Steps:

• Boil the pasta, 3 minutes less than indicated on the package. The past will continue cooking in the oven later. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil to the boiling water to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Pour the oil over the pasta and stir well.
• Pre heat the oven at 340 F.
• Grate the cheese and mix with macaroni.
• If using, rinse raisins in hot water.
• In a deep bowl beat 5 eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat well with a fork.
• Add the lemon zest and lemon juice and mix well.
• Add the egg mixture to the macaroni and cheese and mix well to spread evenly. Leave some egg mixture aside for coating the top.
• Add raisins if you opted for and mix one more time.
• Generously coat the baking dish with butter.
• Transfer the pasta to the baking dish, even out using a tablespoon, add the rest of the egg mixture and bake until light brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Leave to cool in the baking dish, then cut into bars with a sharp knife. This recipe can be served hot or warm too but will break a little when removing from the baking dish (in fact, we love it hot, straight from the oven!)
