Ingredients

Lemon - 1 piece
Corn Starch - 2 teaspoons
Garlic - 1 clove
Chicken Broth - ½ cup
Kirsch - ¼ cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until almost done. Drain the water.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of half a lemon and mix it with the cornstarch.

Step 3

Rub the bottom of a skillet with the garlic clove, and after chopping it, add it to the skillet. Add the broth, kirsch, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add the grated cheese. Slightly reduce the heat and cook until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon mixture and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Then add the pasta, mix well, and distribute the mixture into 8 small molds or coffee cups. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Transfer to plates, let cool for 4-5 minutes, garnish with basil, and sprinkle with black pepper. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice.
