Cooking
- Based on the Armenian-style pasta recipe, we start by heating the butter in a deep frying pan. The oil should be hot, but should not boil.
- So, pour the whole packet of pasta into the hot oil, mix.
- Fry our pasta in Armenian for 10-15 minutes on moderate heat, continuously stirring them with a spatula. Macaroni should acquire a beautiful, uniform, golden brown color.
- Then, without removing the pan from the stove, fill our pasta with hot water. Water should only cover the product a little. At this stage, the dish is better to salt.
- Next, you need to cover the dishes and leave to simmer over low heat until the pasta has completely absorbed the liquid (it will take about 5-7 minutes).
- While the pasta is cooked in Armenian style under the lid, we will prepare the eggs. They need to be broken into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork or whisk along with salt and favorite spices. Ideal for pasta dishes are: dried basil, oregano, mint, garlic, red and black pepper, marjoram. In this case, it is better to focus on your unique taste and not be afraid to experiment.
- We check our frying pan, open the lid and evaluate the condition of the dish. If all the water has been absorbed into the pasta and the consistency suits us, fill the culinary masterpiece with beaten eggs, mix, cover again and keep on low heat for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the lid, mix again and serve the finished dish on the table, at which the hungry family is already tapping spoons on empty plates.
Innings
Armenian pasta is good in its own right, but you can try to enrich their taste by serving fresh vegetable salads, savory sauces or simply sprinkling cheese on them. Many people like to season this dish with finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, cilantro) and grated parmesan.
Parmesan gives the culinary products a pleasant creamy taste, and greens simply decorate the dish and complement it with fresh, spicy aromas.
I would like to dwell a little on sauces. They should not be heavy or too fat. Greek tzatziki sauce is ideal, which is easy and simple to prepare. It is only necessary to peel a large fresh cucumber, grate it on a coarse grater, mix with a clove of garlic passed through a press and finely chopped 3 sprigs of dill. The resulting vegetable mixture can only be diluted with unsweetened yogurt and salt to taste.
The dish is ready! Get ready to receive gratitude from satisfied households. We hope that you will like pasta in Armenian style, and the recipe with a photo will help you cook them.
