Boiled pasta, in my opinion, is a very boring dish, even if sprinkled with cheese and herbs, sprinkled with different sauces, served with delicious meat or fish. No, of course, it turns out delicious, but boiled pasta as a side dish became boring during his life in the USSR.
Make a quick and easy cooked pasta casserole. The essence of the dish will not change from this, but the form of serving is very much. And the pasta itself will turn out to be more juicy, tender.
How to make a pasta casserole?
Cook the pasta as usual. You can take both the usual pasta and some kind of fancy shape like seashells. You will also need onions, carrots, sweet peppers, chicken meat (or other meat, to taste), cheese, pepper and garlic if desired, salt to taste.
Chop the onion and bell peppers, grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Saute the vegetables until the onions are light golden brown. Add pepper and garlic there.
Stew the meat cut into small pieces. Then put pasta, vegetables, meat in layers in a baking dish, sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in the oven like a cooked pizza (until the cheese is well melted).
Helpful advice. In this type of food, the main thing is imagination. In the casserole, you can add mushrooms in your own juice or chopped olives. To make the casserole softer, fill it with an egg mixed with half a glass of milk or 2-4 tablespoons of sour cream (you can take mayonnaise instead of sour cream). Sprinkle with herbs before serving.
