Gramigna (pasta) with Mortadella and Emmental

To prepare a delicious and satisfying meal, we start by boiling the pasta. Make sure to use a large pot filled with cold water, which you will generously salt. Wait until the water starts to boil, then add the pasta. It is important to cook them according to the instructions on the package, so you achieve a perfect al dente texture that will delight your taste buds. While the pasta is boiling, we dedicate ourselves to preparing the delicious sauce.

In a meat grinder or blender, finely chop both the mortadella and the Emmental cheese. This mixture will bring a unique flavor to your dish. In a pan, add a piece of butter and let it melt over medium heat, being careful not to burn it. When the butter is completely melted, add the cream, followed by the mixture of mortadella and cheese. Mix the ingredients well so that they combine harmoniously and form a smooth cream. The consistency of the sauce should be balanced; if it is too liquid, let it cook for a few minutes to thicken. If, on the other hand, it is too thick, you can add a few tablespoons of the water in which the pasta was boiled to adjust its texture.

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, pour it into a large bowl. Here, add the warm sauce, mixing well to ensure that each piece of pasta is evenly coated with the delicious cream. This step is essential to allow the flavors to blend perfectly. You can serve the dish immediately, but don’t forget to add, if you wish, a garnish of grated parmesan on top. This will add a salty note and an intense aroma that will perfectly complement your dish.

This dish is not only easy to prepare but also extremely tasty, ideal for a family dinner or to impress guests. Enjoy every bite and the inviting aroma that will fill the house!
