Milk Stewed Macaroni

This is a traditional Swedish recipe that for some reason has become more and more uncommon during the last 10 years. Kids tend to love it because it goes very well with ketchup.

7-8dl milk
1tsb salt
1 1/2tbl butter
3dl macaroni (traditionally small elbow shaped macaroni but what ever you have)
1 pinch of pepper
1 pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)


Bring the milk, salt and butter to the boil.

Mix in the macaroni and let them swell at very low heat without a lid for 10-25min (depending on the type of pasta) or until they have gone soft.

Stir from time to time and dilute with more milk if needed.

Add the pepper and the nutmeg if you want to use it.

At this stage you can sprinkle over or stir in parsley or dill to add some color and extra flavor.

Serve with sausages, bacon or Swedish meatballs.



Enjoy!
