Instructions: Cook pasta in boiling water until tender (12 minutes). Drain well.

Chop then soak apricots in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften.

Combine eggs, cream, milk, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well, add cooked pasta and apricots and stir well.

Pour mixture into a shallow ovenproof dish and sprinkle with extra sugar and spices. Place dish in a baking tray and pour in enough hot water to come half way up the sides of the dish. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about 40 minutes until just set.

Serves 4.

A simple dessert.
