Pasta/Pizza - Farfalle with Walnut, Cocoa, and Apples by Eufrosina O. - Recipia
To prepare a special dessert, we start by preparing the apples. We peel the apples and remove the seed core, then cut them into quarters or slices, depending on personal preference. It is important to sprinkle the apples with lemon juice to prevent oxidation and keep their vibrant color. Once we are done with the apples, we boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water that has begun to boil. It is essential to respect the cooking time specified on the package to achieve a perfect texture.

Once the pasta is cooked, we drain it and immediately mix it with 30 g of sugar, 50 g of butter, cocoa, and sesame. This mixture will give the pasta a delicious flavor and an attractive appearance. We mix the ingredients well and let everything cool down. In the meantime, we take care of the egg whites. We beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the remaining sugar. This is a crucial step, as the egg white foam will give the dessert a light and airy texture.

Once the pasta has cooled, we add the beaten egg yolks and ¾ of the egg white foam, carefully mixing to avoid deflating. In another bowl, we caramelize 8 tablespoons of sugar, being careful to achieve a golden color. This caramelized sugar will be used to line the base and half the height of the sides of a heatproof dish. We place the remaining butter cut into slices in the dish, then arrange the apple quarters, including on the sides. We sprinkle with cinnamon to enhance the flavor.

We place the dish in the preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the apples become soft, caramelized, and slightly translucent. After removing the dish from the oven, we mix the remaining egg white foam with ground nuts and immediately pour the pasta mixture over the caramelized apples. We level the surface well, then cover with a generous layer of egg whites with nuts.

We return the dish to the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees, until the egg whites become golden and firm. The dessert can be served plain, portioning it directly from the heatproof dish, either while warm or after it has completely cooled. Another delicious option is to let the dessert cool, turn it out onto a platter, and decorate it with nuts, either coarsely chopped or ground, thus providing a festive and appetizing appearance. This recipe is sure to bring joy to your table!
