Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
I'm always for homemade minced meat. Therefore, I propose to scroll a good piece of beef through a meat grinder using a nozzle with small holes. To achieve the perfect softness of minced meat, I pass it through a meat grinder twice.
Step 2:
Since meat and pasta must be ready for casserole at the same time, it is necessary to put a pot of water on the fire. As soon as the water boils, add salt to taste.
Step 3:
Pour the pasta into the pan and mix gently so that it does not immediately stick to the bottom. After the water boils again, cook the pasta for half the time specified in the instructions on the package. That is, until half-ready. My durum wheat pasta was cooked for about four minutes after the second boil.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and finely chop it. Heat a frying pan with low sides on the fire. Pour in the sunflower oil and, stirring, fry the onion until soft.
Step 5:
Put the minced meat in a frying pan with the onion and fry everything together for ten minutes.
Step 6:
Flip the pasta into a colander and rinse cold! with water. This is necessary in order to stop the process of heat treatment of pasta. Otherwise, they risk "go " with subsequent baking.
Step 7:
Add salt to the minced meat and add dry herbs. I have these Provencal herbs: oregano, basil and rosemary. Stir and remove from heat.
Step 8:
Pour milk into a bowl and beat in one washed egg. Add salt. Combine the products to a homogeneous consistency with a fork or whisk.
Step 9:
Grate the sharp cheese on a fine grater. Add two thirds to the milk mixture. Set aside one third for now.
Step 10:
In a pre-greased baking dish, put half of the minced meat in the first layer and pour half of the milk mixture.
Step 11:
Then carefully spread half of the pasta on top in one layer close to each other.
Step 12:
The next layer is the remaining minced meat plus filling. And the top layer is the second half of the pasta.
Step 13:
Sprinkle the second part of the grated cheese on top of the casserole. Bake in a preheated oven to one hundred and eighty degrees for half an hour. A ruddy cheese crust should form on the surface of the casserole.

The casserole turned out tender and delicious. It can be offered to both adults and children. As an addition, it will be good to serve a salad of fresh vegetables and sauces based on tomatoes.
Bon appetit!
