Penne pasta 350 g Makkaroni (Hörnchen)

Cow's milk 1 l Vollmilch

Cheddar cheese block 300 g Cheddar Käse am Stück

Fine salt 1 TL Speisesalz fein jodiert

Ground black pepper 1 TL Schwarzer Pfeffer gemahlen

Sweet paprika powder 1 TL Paprikapulver edelsüß

Preparation method

Grate the Cheddar coarsely with a grater and set aside.

Pour the whole milk into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the uncooked macaroni (horn-shaped pasta) directly into the boiling milk. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika powder.

Reduce the heat and let the pasta simmer gently for about 10–15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is soft and the milk has thickened into a creamy sauce.
