Steps
Cook Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, then cook the small pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toast Semolina
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the semolina and toast it, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it!
Combine Ingredients
Combine the toasted semolina with the cooked pasta in a large bowl. Add the granulated sugar and mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and coats the pasta and semolina evenly.
Serve
Serve immediately while warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar and homemade jam to taste. Enjoy!
Extra Tips
► If you want to make it even creamier, you can drizzle a little milk over the pasta after cooking.
► Experiment with different jams! Apricot and plum are the most popular, but raspberry also goes wonderfully with it.
► You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the toasted semolina if you like extra flavors.
