  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to bake pasta? The preparation will take place in three stages - first we will prepare bechamel and bolognese sauces, and then we will bake boiled pasta with them. Prepare the products for the bechamel sauce.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Take a saucepan with a thick bottom, put butter in it and put it on a small fire. Melt the butter and immediately, without waiting for it to boil, pour flour, salt and nutmeg into it. With constant stirring, fry the flour until a pleasant nutty flavor appears, it will take just a couple of minutes.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Then pour milk into the flour in a thin stream, actively working with a spoon - this way you will avoid the appearance of lumps. Take a whisk and, with constant stirring, bring the sauce to thicken. Turn off the heat and leave the sauce to cool.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Prepare the products for the bolognese sauce. You can exclude broth and wine from the products by filling the meat with water, but a real Italian recipe implies their presence. A celery stalk is often put from vegetables. And along with the minced meat - bacon. As a tomato sauce, I always take mashed tomatoes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Cut the onion into small cubes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Carrots - also, in small cubes.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Preheat the frying pan, pour olive oil on it. Lay out the vegetables. Stir-fry them for 5 minutes.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Put the minced meat in the pan. Use a spatula to break large pieces. Fry it with vegetables for 5 minutes.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Pour in the tomato sauce, stir.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Pour in the broth, wine, add salt and spices.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Stir and cover. Make a very small fire and leave the sauce to simmer for at least 45 minutes. Italians stew bolognese for 2 hours or longer. To do this, you will need to pour in a liter of broth.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    You will also need pasta, eggs and hard cheese for cooking. Italians prepare these dishes with rigatoni - long hollow tubes. But you can take other varieties of pasta with a similar shape. Cheese is traditionally used parmesan.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Boil the pasta in salted water. Cook them for a minute less than indicated on the package. They should not break and boil.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14.

    It's time to make a macaroni cake. Take a split form. Mine is 20 cm in diameter. Lubricate the bottom and walls with oil.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15.

    Break the eggs in the bolognese sauce.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16.

    Mix the sauce with the eggs. Set aside a few spoons.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    Put the pasta in the sauce, stir.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18.

    Now the most time-consuming thing in this recipe. Place the pasta in the mold so that they stand upright. Pour the remaining sauce over them.

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19.

    Brush the pasta with bechamel sauce on top. I have some of the sauce left. Sprinkle with a couple of spoons of grated parmesan.

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20.

    Bake the pasta in the oven preheated to 190 ° C for about 20 minutes. It is better to wrap the bottom of the mold with foil so that the leaking sauce does not burn in the oven. I put another mold with a larger diameter on the bottom. Focus on your oven when baking!

  21. Step 21:

    Step 21.

    Gently swipe the knife between the wall and the side of the cake and remove the mold. Serve the baked pasta, garnishing them with herbs.

Very interesting dish! Tastes like lasagna, looks like cake. The only thing I couldn't cut it into pieces without breaking apart the stacked pasta. But it doesn't matter, the main thing is that it's delicious!

How to boil pasta properly? Take a spacious saucepan, pour water at the rate of 100 grams of pasta 1 liter of water. The main thing is that the products float freely in the liquid. Add salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil. It is important to put the pasta in boiling water, otherwise they may stick together. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked or al dente (cooking time is always indicated on the package). Put the finished pasta in a colander and let the liquid drain. It is not necessary to rinse the finished pasta with water. If you do not plan to immediately mix the pasta with the sauce, then in order to avoid sticking hot pasta, you can send them from the colander back into the pan and add a teaspoon of olive oil (or a piece of butter)and mix gently.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
