No. 1717 — Italian Macaroni with Butter and Cheese for Breakfast
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1717 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cook half to one Russian pound macaroni as in the general note, drain and mix with a quarter to half pound butter.
Transfer to a serving dish, scatter with grated Parmesan or a dry Russian-Swiss cheese and serve immediately while hot.
Historical editorial note: The original states an ambiguous cheese measure of one eighth to one quarter of a spoonful.
