Alpine macaroni

A genuinely square meal and a culinary treat

Ingredients

(for 4 people)

400 g macaroni
4 - 5 potatoes
200 g uncooked ham, raw bacon or Salsiz
150 g grated Alpine cheese
2 dl sauce cream
1 dl milk
Butter
1 - 2 large onions

Method

(Preparation time: 20 minutes, recipe takes approx. 30 minutes)

• Peel potatoes, cut into 1 cm cubes and boil for approx. 10 minutes in salt water before adding the macaroni. Then continue cooking both ingredients until the macaroni is ready (chewable consistency). Dice the uncooked ham, bacon or salsiz and steam in a frying pan. Grate the Alpine cheese.
• Drain the cooked macaroni and potato mixture, pour into an ovenproof container, stir in the diced meat and garnish with the grated cheese and a few curls of butter. Bring the milk and sauce cream mixture to the boil for a short while and pour over the dish. Cut the onions into strips, steam them in butter and arrange them over the Alpine macaroni before serving.
• Brown in a pre-heated oven at 200°C for approx. 15 to 20 minutes.
