Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    The main ingredients of my pasta casserole are ground meat, pasta and cheese. As meat filling, you can use ordinary homemade (beef + pork), or ground beef. Of pasta, the so-called semi-bagels or shells will be optimal.

  2. 02

    Make minced meat. In my case, it was 30% pork and 70% beef.

  3. 03

    Grind the tomato on a blender, or pass through a meat grinder, so that a homogeneous tomato puree is obtained.

  4. 04

    Cut the onions fine.

  5. 05

    In the pan, warm up vegetable oil and roast onions for literally 3 minutes.

  6. 06

  8. 08

    In the bowl, whip chicken eggs and add 100 ml of milk.
