A touch of history

Noodle pudding is a traditional recipe that has been prepared for generations. It has evolved over time, inspired by ancient culinary practices that combined pasta with various sweet ingredients. It is a versatile recipe that can be adapted based on available ingredients and personal preferences.

Step by step

Step 1: Preparing the noodles
Start by boiling 3 liters of water with a pinch of salt in a large pot. When the water starts to boil, add the noodles. Let them boil on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. After 5 minutes, drain the noodles and let them cool slightly.

Helpful tips: If using homemade noodles, ensure they are cooked to perfection as cooking times may vary. The noodles should be al dente, meaning they have a firm texture but are not hard.

Step 2: Preparing the pudding mixture
In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the flour (or the packet of vanilla pudding) and the vanilla sugar until they form a homogeneous mixture. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. This mixture will give the pudding a delicate flavor and sweet taste, thanks to the vanilla.

Step 3: Combining the ingredients
In a deeper greased baking dish, add the cooked noodles. Pour the pudding mixture over the noodles, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Step 4: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and let the pudding bake for another 10 minutes, or until it turns golden on top.

Step 5: Cooling and serving
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before portioning. You can cut it into squares or triangles, depending on your preference. Place a piece on each plate and decorate with raisins for an extra touch of flavor and an attractive appearance.

Serving suggestions

Noodle pudding with vanilla is absolutely delicious served warm, but it is just as good cold. You can accompany it with caramel or chocolate sauce for a truly decadent dessert. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside will add a perfect contrast of temperatures.

Variations and tricks

To add a personal touch, you can experiment with different types of sugar, such as brown sugar, which will enhance the flavor. You can also replace the raisins with other dried fruits, such as apricots or cranberries, for an explosion of different tastes.

If you want to turn this recipe into a hearty dish, you can add some pieces of sweet cheese to the noodle mixture before baking. This will add a unique texture and flavor, transforming the pudding into a surprising main dish.

Nutritional benefits

This pudding is a good source of carbohydrates from the noodles, providing you with the energy needed throughout the day. The eggs contribute quality protein, and the milk is an excellent source of calcium. Although it is a dessert, the nutrient content makes it a better choice compared to other fat-rich desserts.
