Poppy Seed Pasta

Chifferi Rigati pasta with poppy seed is a traditional dish popular in many parts of Central Europe, including Croatia, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. This simple dish is made of cooked pasta mixed with ground poppy seeds and sugar; to make the flavour richer, sometimes a little butter or milk is added to it.

This dish originates from rural areas where poppy seeds and pasta were common and cheap ingredients. Chifferi rigati pasta with poppy seed is often prepared for special occasions and holidays because its sweet and nutty flavour evokes the traditional culinary customs and heritage of the region.
