Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes so it remains al dente. Drain the pasta well and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
-
Add the cooked pasta, raisins, and nuts to the custard mixture, stirring gently to combine.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
-
Dust the top of the pudding with confectioners' sugar for a final touch of sweetness.
