A brief history of the recipe:
Spaghetti cheese pudding has its origins in the culinary traditions of various cultures where pasta and cheese are staple ingredients. This recipe has evolved over time, adapted to available ingredients and local preferences.

Ingredients:
- 300 g spaghetti
- 800 ml water
- A pinch of salt
- 200 g sheep cheese
- 50 g grated cheese
- 4 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of nutmeg

Preparation:

1. Boiling the spaghetti: Start by adding 800 ml of water to the Philips Multicooker pot. Add a pinch of salt to flavor the spaghetti. Set the device to the BOIL program for 10 minutes, allowing the water to reach a boiling point.

2. Adding the spaghetti: Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti. Ensure they are fully submerged and not sticking together. Set the STEW program for 10 minutes. This will cook the spaghetti al dente, perfect for combining with the cheeses.

3. Preparing the cheese mixture: In a bowl, mix the sheep cheese, grated cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, one egg, and a pinch of nutmeg. This mixture will provide creaminess and a unique flavor to the pudding. Make sure the mixture is smooth using a fork or hand mixer.

4. Combining the ingredients: After the spaghetti is cooked, drain them well and add them to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients. It’s important to do this carefully to avoid breaking the spaghetti.

5. Preparing for baking: In another bowl, beat the second egg and pour it evenly over the spaghetti and cheese mixture. This will help bind the ingredients during baking. If desired, you can sprinkle some grated cheese on top for added flavor and a golden crust.

6. Baking: Place the mixture in the Multicooker pot and set the device to the BAKE program at 180 degrees for 45 minutes. You will notice the aroma of cheese filling the kitchen, while the spaghetti turns golden and delicious.

7. Serving: Once the pudding is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it warm alongside a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.

Customized version:
For an exotic touch, add some green or black olives to the cheese mixture. You can also use fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra flavor boost.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of pasta?
Yes, you can experiment with short pasta like penne or fusilli, but the cooking time may vary.

2. Can I make the pudding without eggs?

3. How can I store the pudding for later consumption?
