Experience the comforting embrace of this creamy classic – Pasta con Latte is a delightful twist on dinner that will warm your soul tonight!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, and once boiling, add 200 grams of pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.

2

While the pasta cooks, in a separate saucepan, pour in 500 milliliters of milk and heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

3

After the pasta has cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta into a colander.

4

Add the drained pasta to the saucepan with the heated milk. Stir gently to combine.

5

Season the pasta with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir well.

6

If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired creaminess.

7

Finally, remove from heat and mix in 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the dish.

8

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil before serving for extra flavor.

• Add cooked vegetables such as spinach or peas for extra nutrition and color.
• Mix in some sautéed mushrooms or garlic for an enhanced flavor profile.
• Top with crispy pancetta or bacon bits for a savory crunch.

• Use whole milk for a richer flavor, but skim milk works too if you prefer a lighter version.
• Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be slightly firm to the bite.
• Feel free to experiment with spices like paprika or dried herbs to suit your taste.
