Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 6 ounces cooked fettuccine pasta
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 chocolate truffles (or chocolate balls)
  • 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (for drizzling)
  • Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Pancake Stack with Creamy Pasta

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. In a separate pot, combine the cooked fettuccine, softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese over low heat. Stir until the mixture is creamy and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. To assemble, stack three pancakes on a plate, then top with a generous scoop of the creamy pasta. Add another pancake, more pasta, and finish with a final pancake on top.
  8. Place a chocolate truffle on top of the stack and drizzle with melted white chocolate. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best rise in pancakes.
  • Don’t overmix the pancake batter; a few lumps are fine.
  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven at a low temperature while you cook the rest.
  • Adjust the creaminess of the pasta by adding more or less heavy cream.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the fettuccine for another pasta shape, like penne or spaghetti.
  • Add cooked bacon or ham to the creamy pasta for a savory twist.
  • Use different cheeses for the pasta, like mozzarella or goat cheese.
  • Top with caramel sauce instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Maple syrup on the side for those who prefer a sweeter touch.
  • A light green salad to balance the richness of the dish.
  • Coffee or a fruity mimosa to complement the brunch vibe.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pancakes and pasta separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm pancakes in a toaster or skillet and reheat pasta gently on the stove with a splash of cream.
