Authentic home cooking from Italy, with US measurements. 
Sweet Maccheroni with Walnuts
Sweet maccheroni with walnuts is a traditional Christmas dessert from the Umbrian region of Italy. It’s made by dressing regular pasta with sweet ingredients, giving it a bold, sweet flavor, and it’s meant to be eaten cold. You can serve it as a layered dish or press it into a kind of mold while the pasta is still very hot.
I was asked to make a dessert using pasta, so I thought I’d share this recipe—it’s not very well known, but it’s absolutely delicious.

- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, as you would for regular pasta.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, breadcrumbs, chocolate, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, coffee, and the mix of liqueurs.
- 3
Stir everything together with a spoon until the mixture is nice and moist.
- 4
Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Add the hot pasta to the mixture and mix well. If it seems too dry, add a bit of the reserved cooking water (I didn’t need to add any).
- 5
Refrigerate until completely chilled. Enjoy your dessert!
- 6
P.S. Be sure to cook the pasta until it’s very soft, not al dente!
