🇭🇺 Pasta with Semolina & Apricot Jam – Grízes Tészta

This dish is a beloved édestészta (“sweet pasta”) from Hungarian home kitchens. Cooked pasta is tossed with golden, toasty semolina, then served with a generous dollop of apricot jam. It’s a childhood favorite for many Hungarians — quick enough for a weekday lunch or a cozy dessert.
