Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

250 g angel hair pasta
1 lemon (just the peeling of the lemon)
1 1/2 liters milk (just add in more hot milk if you like it creamy, I do)
200 g sugar, depending on your taste (I use less about130gr,)
1/2 cup water
100 g butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cinnamon sticks
3 -4 egg yolks (I add 4 I like colour it gives out and texture)

Steps:

  • Place water, milk, salt, sugar, cinnamon stick, butter and lemon peel in a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of this, so you can very slowly beat in egg yolks, and set aside.
  • Now you may add in your Angel Hair Pasta, and bring to a boil, reduce heat keep stirring at ALL times, if it looks like its getting to dry add in some mor HOT milk.
  • Half way through your cooking add in the 1/2 cup of milk with the yolks that you had put aside, and stir till cooked.
  • Pour everything into a platter not forgetting to remove the lemon peel and cinnamon stick, and spread evenly.
  • Let cool, then decorate with cinnamon powder to your liken.

I'm not a huge fan of angel hair pasta, but this dish was really good. The sauce was very flavorful and the fruit and nuts added a nice crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more spice.
