Spaghetti with minced meat, tomatoes and cheese in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients to prepare the dish. It is better to take spaghetti from durum wheat. You can use any minced meat according to your taste and desire, ready-made or prepared yourself in advance. Of course, a dish with minced meat made from a mixture of pork and beef will be tastier; the dish will be more juicy, tender and tasty.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the spaghetti in salted water until tender, according to the instructions on the package, but do not overcook them so that they do not turn into mush when baked.

3. STEP 3

   

   We put them in a colander and let the water drain. If we use ready-made chilled minced meat, then add finely chopped onions, salt and ground black pepper to taste, and mix. If we prepare minced meat, we make it into cutlets as usual.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the tomatoes and cut them into circles. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Wash the fresh parsley and finely chop it with a knife. Combine mayonnaise and ketchup and mix in a bowl. Grease the mold with vegetable oil. Place boiled hot spaghetti into it, forming nests. Lubricate them on top with a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise; mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream if desired.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place some of the minced meat on each spaghetti nest, using a tablespoon to form flat cakes so that the minced meat does not crawl outside the pasta nest during baking.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place a slice of tomato on each nest on top of the minced meat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped parsley. Carefully pour a little water into the mold, enough to reach a height of 1 centimeter, but so that it does not cover the minced meat. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve with fresh vegetables and bread. Bon appetit!
