Bebbux mimli

Bebbux mimli is a traditional pasta dish originating from Malta. The dish is usually made with a combination of lumache (snail-shaped pasta), semolina, ricotta, grated cheese, nutmeg, parsley, eggs, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. The ricotta is mixed with the eggs, grated cheese, nutmeg, seasonings, and parsley.

The pasta is stuffed with the mixture and the open ends are then dipped in semolina so that the lumaconi remain intact while they're cooking. Once the stuffed pasta rises to the top, it's cooked. The stuffed lumaconi are served in warm tomato sauce, toped with grated cheese and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
