Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
1 pound (454 grams) waxy potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2-1 inch (1.25-2.5 centimeter) cubes)
12 ounces (340 grams) dried penne (or hörnli, maccheroni )
8 ounces (227 grams) shredded Gruyère (or another Alpine cheese)
3/4 cup (177 milliliters) heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Applesauce (for serving)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F. Lightly grease a large casserole dish.
  • In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium low heat. Add the onions, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Once water comes to a boil, add the cubed potatoes. As they begin to soften, after about 5 minutes, add the dried penne. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and pasta is barely tender, about 7 minutes. The pasta will cook a little further as it bakes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, season cream with salt, pepper, and about 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Add 1/3 of penne and potatoes to the bottom of prepared dish. Evenly cover with 1/3rd of the grated cheese. Top with another 1/3 of penne and potatoes. Top with another 1/3rd of the cheese, then remaining penne and potatoes. Top evenly with the remaining shredded cheese. Pour the seasoned cream over the layers.
  • Bake in preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and evenly top with the caramelized onions.
  • Serve the Älplermagronen hot either over the applesauce or with the applesauce on the side. If desired, top with a little fresh parsley or chives.

  • Using Quality Cheese: Gruyère cheese is key to the dish's authentic flavor. Use freshly grated cheese for the best results.
  • Making the Cheese Sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat to prevent burning. Gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Adding the Gruyère: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the grated Gruyère until melted and creamy.
  • Seasoning the Sauce: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • Combining Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce in a large bowl. Ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
  • Serving: Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and garnish with additional grated Gruyère. Serve immediately while the pasta is hot and the cheese sauce is still creamy.
