Step 1:
How to make nests of pasta with minced meat and cheese in a frying pan? Prepare the products. As minced meat, you can use chicken, pork, turkey. Take pasta of good quality, from flour of hard varieties. They don't boil. Instead of broth, you can take water. Salted broth.
Step 2:
Peel and chop the onion in a convenient way. I usually rub on a grater, you can use a meat grinder, chopper or blender. Or finely cut with a knife. Put onion, salt and pepper in the minced meat. Knead it well. You can put any spices to taste. You can also add chopped garlic.
Step 3:
Take a frying pan with high enough sides so that the nests fit in it in height. Put the nests in it. Make lumps of minced meat. Carefully insert the minced meat into the holes of the sockets.
Step 4:
Pour the broth into the pan so that it is at the level of 2/3 of the pasta.
Step 5:
Bring the broth to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and leave the dish to cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes.
Step 6:
Watch the water. As soon as it boils off and the set time has passed, sprinkle the nests with grated cheese. Cover with a lid and wait until the cheese melts. Then turn off the fire. The dish is ready. It is better to serve the nests immediately while they are hot. Enjoy your meal!

I really liked the idea of cooking pasta in a frying pan. The main thing is not to let the liquid boil out. The pasta is fully cooked, it has become soft, but it has not fallen apart. The meat was also ready. The dish tasted like lasagna.
Nests with minced meat can also be cooked in an oven or a slow cooker.
In the frying pan in which you will cook the nests, you can make a roast of onions, carrots and tomato paste. Then the pasta will be in the sauce, it's even tastier.
As a sauce, you can take cream, sour cream, and tomato. To do this, first prepare the sauce in a frying pan, and then put the nests with minced meat.
Choose greens according to your taste. We love basil, you can take parsley or dill.
