Poppy Seed Pasta is a traditional Hungarian dish that derives its greatest flavor from its simplicity. The soft, warm pieces of pasta meet the sweet, slightly bitter taste of roasted poppy seeds, creating a dish that is both nourishing and delicious.
Making poppy seed pasta is very easy: cooked pasta is mixed with toasted poppy seeds and sugar, then a little butter melts everything together. This dish is not only delicious but also quick to prepare, making it an ideal choice if you want to make something fast but satisfying.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the noodles, and cook according to package directions. Drain well.
Melt the butter and toss with the drained noodles.
In a separate bowl, combine the ground poppy seeds, sugar, and vanilla sugar.
Sprinkle the poppy seed mixture over the buttered noodles and toss to combine thoroughly.
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar. Add more sugar or jam to taste.
