Pasta with Milk (Molochne) was made in our family often. It’s a Russian milk soup typically made in milk. Serve it for breakfast or dinner.
Children love this semi-sweet milk soup! Any grain, pasta or rice can be used in place for the pasta. I prefer bite sized pasta but grains like hulled millet would work great! If you have milk to use up this is a great and fun way to do so.
How to prevent milk from sticking to a pot?
Bring a thin layer of water to a boil before adding the milk. This helps with a scorched bottom that typically forms from cooking milk.
Ingredients for Russian Milk Soup:
- 10 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups Pipe Rigate Pasta (any)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
How to make Pasta with Milk:
1. In a large pot bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. (Preferably a deep pot as milk foams and may run up really quick, so to avoid accidents and spillage go with a deep one.)
This water step helps the milk not stick to your pot.
2. Once water boils, pour in all the milk and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (about 12 min).
3. When milk starts getting really foamy, it’s going to boil soon. Keep stirring until milk bubbles.
4. Once milk bubbles, quickly add in the pasta and boil over med-low heat for 7-8 minutes.
5. Add the salt
6. Do not exceed more than 8 minutes to cook the pasta as the pasta will continue to cook while sitting.
7. When pasta is al dente; add the sugar stir and remove completely from the heat.
