Instructions

1 ✓

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously.

Tip: Water should taste like the sea for the pasta to absorb flavor.
2 ✓

Meanwhile, mix ground poppy seeds, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.

Tip: Premixing ensures even flavor distribution.
3 ✓

Once boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions (al dente).

Tip: Don't overcook; soft pasta falls apart when mixed.
4 ✓

Drain pasta, do not rinse! Immediately toss with butter.

Tip: Starch on the pasta emulsifies with butter, creating a sauce that prevents sticking.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with poppy seed mixture and toss thoroughly.

Tip: Heat from the pasta slightly melts the sugar, binding the poppy seeds to the noodles.
