PASSIVE: 90 min

COOKING

1. For the dough, beat 25g butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add 100g flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.

2. After 90 minutes, bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile, transfer the dough from the fridge to a floured work surface and roll out. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of nougat in the middle of each piece of dough, wrap evenly with dough and shape into a ball.

3. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and place the nougat balls in the boiling water. Cook the nougat balls for around 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vanilla sauce in a small pan.

4. In the meantime, melt 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a small pan and toast both 35g breadcrumbs and 35g ground hazelnuts in it, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant. Now add the sugar and stir in. Divide half of the crumbs between 4 plates.

5. As soon as the balls start to turn in the water, they are ready. Remove from the pan and drain well. Now place the balls on the crumbs on the plates. Spread the vanilla sauce over them and top with the other half of the crumbs.

6. Bring water for the pasta to the boil in a large pan and cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.

7. Put the finished pasta on a plate, spread the meat sauce over it and serve with parmesan, plenty of parsley and fresh pepper.
