Cooking method

Cooking time: 1 h 25 min

You can make a casserole from any kind of pasta, but it looks best with feathers - thick tubes about 3 cm long. Bring the water to a boil, add salt, load the pasta and boil until half-cooked. Discard in a colander, rinse with cold water and leave for a while.

Let's start cooking meat sauce. To do this, heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and add minced meat. You can use any minced meat, but beef is best combined with this dish. We buy ready-made in the store or do it ourselves by passing a piece of beef pulp through a meat grinder.

Fry the minced meat, kneading it with a spatula so that the pieces turn out as small as possible. Fry, stirring for 7-10 minutes. While the minced meat is being prepared, we clean, wash and finely chop the onion. When the minced meat looks almost ready, add the onion to the pan, pepper, salt, add dry spices. Stir, pour in the wine and tomato paste, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.

As soon as the minced meat is cooked, we can start forming the casserole. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. The form is liberally lubricated with half of the butter, sprinkle it with breadcrumbs on top. This French shirt will eliminate burning and create a delicate crust.

Put half of the pasta on the bottom of the mold, sprinkle with half a portion of cheese and pour the meat sauce. Sprinkle it with the rest of the cheese and spread the second part of the pasta.

Turn on the oven at 180 degrees to warm up and start cooking the milk sauce. We heat the milk to a hot state (about 60 degrees). Beat the eggs with a fork. Put the butter in a saucepan and melt it to a liquid state, pour in the flour and, stirring it with a spatula, bring it to a golden state. Pour in the milk in a thin stream and stir constantly.

As soon as the base of the sauce has boiled, remove from the heat and pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Season with spices and pour the sauce evenly over the casserole.

Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown. We serve it to the table in a hot or slightly cooled state.

Bon appetit!
