Älpermagronen Macaroni Pasta

One of the most popular Swiss dishes is Alplermagronen, also known as Alpine Macaroni. Aside from having a memorable name, the mere mention of Mac and Cheese is likely to make many travelers' hearts skip a beat. But simply copying another recipe would not be the Swiss way. No, the Alplermagronen has some interesting differences.

The basic meal has long been a source of nutrition for the country's alpine farmers. Traditional Swiss cuisine combines macaroni paste with local cheese (yes, please!) and small potatoes cooked with onions. Different restaurants and local homes then add their own spins, such as homegrown herbs and spices or bacon.

Warm apple puree is then added to the dish as t he finishing touch, putting a unique exclamation mark on the Swiss version of a common worldwide meal. If you intend to travel to Switzerland, Älpermagronen Macaroni Pasta is one of the must-try dishes.
