Urner \u00c4lpermagronen (Swiss Alpine Macaroni from the Canton of Uri)<\/h2>\n

Recipe by Marco<\/span>Course: Main Course<\/mark><\/span>Cuisine: Swiss<\/mark><\/span>Difficulty: Intermediate<\/mark><\/span><\/p>\n

One of my familys favorite and heartier dishes from Switzerland is \u00c4lpermagronen, which are kind of the \u201cSwiss Mac and cheese\u201d.
While the \u201cUrner \u00c4lpermagronen\u201d, coming from the Canton of Uri are made without potatoes, the L\u00c4ndermagronen have additionally potatoes.
Since my Grandma was from the Canton of Uri, nothing could make her more upset if somebody called \u00c4lpermagronen with potatoes \u201cUrner \u00c4lpermagronen\u201d. Potatoes where be carried to the high Alps by farmers bringing their cows up for the summer.
\u00c4lpermagronen comes comes from the times back when Alp farmers who had an unlimited access of butter, cream, milk and cheese.
The Gotthard Pass or St. Gotthard Pass is located in the Canton of Uri. During late 1800s there was a large influx of Italian construction workers hired to build the Gotthard tunnel (a major route from Switzerland to Italy), causing that Pasta was added to this potato cheese dish.<\/p>\n
