Thirdly, pasta for spaghetti with minced meat should be cooked over low heat, stirring several times, otherwise it may become sticky and “clumpy”.

Fourthly, tomato paste can be supplemented with any additives that are especially loved in the family, and Make your own tomato sauce. To do this, you need to remove the skins from the fruits (dipping them into boiling water and then immediately into cold water), grind them in a blender and boil them by about half. However, if spaghetti with minced meat and tomato paste requires a sauce based on tomato paste, then there is no point in boiling it down so much: you will still have to dilute it later.

Another version of spaghetti casserole with minced meat.

Spaghetti - 500 g

Minced meat (preferably poultry) - 400 g

Small champignons - 300 g

Garlic - 3-4 cloves

Any cheese - 200 g

Smoked bacon - 300 g

Tomato paste - 3 tablespoons

Black olives (or olives, or both) - half a jar

Salt, pepper mixture, vegetable oil

Boil the spaghetti until al dente. Place the minced meat in a frying pan with hot oil and fry until done.

Break the cheese into small pieces.

Wash the champignons and place them whole in a saucepan with oil and a few tablespoons of water, cover with a lid and simmer until the mushrooms have noticeably reduced in size.

Finely grate the cheese and mix with eggs and tomato paste. Squeeze the garlic through a press, add salt and a mixture of peppers.

Mix the spaghetti with minced meat, feta cheese, champignons, olives, and carefully add the egg mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Place strips of bacon on a sheet of foil, and place spaghetti with additives on top of them, giving it an elongated shape. Lifting the edges of the foil together with the ends of the smoked meat slices, form a loaf of bacon, connect the edges of the foil sheet and bake the spaghetti in the oven at 160 degrees for 15 minutes. Then take out the baking sheet, remove the top part of the foil and return to the oven, increasing the temperature to 200 degrees. Bake until golden brown. When serving, cut into slices.

Recipe 7. Spaghetti with minced meat and Bolognese sauce

Spaghetti - 400 g

Minced meat (mixed pork and beef) - 400 g

Onion - 1 piece

Carrot - 1 piece

Dry white wine - 1 glass

Tomatoes in their own juice - 1 half-kilogram jar

Salt, a mixture of Italian herbs

Vegetable (better, of course, olive) oil

Fry the minced meat, kneading the lumps, pour the wine into it and leave on low heat until it evaporates.

Grate the carrots, chop the onion, add them to the minced meat and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes. Add salt and sprinkle with herbs.

Remove the tomatoes from the jar and chop finely with a knife (a blender will be too fine). Lay them out and pour the tomato from the jar into a saucepan, cook for another 40 minutes over low heat.

Boil the spaghetti until al dente. Keep in water for another 2 minutes, drain in a colander. Place on plates and top with Bolognese sauce.

To prevent the spaghetti from sticking together, it is recommended to add one spoon of olive oil to the water. However, note that olive oil will add flavor to the spaghetti.

When cooking spaghetti, you need to stir it several times: when you place it in boiling water, when the water boils again, 2-3 times during the rest of the cooking time.

To cook spaghetti al dente, it will take about 7 minutes of cooking and 2 minutes in hot water. But it’s better to look at the packaging more precisely.

You can add smoked meats minced through a meat grinder or chopped with a knife to the minced meat.

Unnecessarily, it is better not to mix spaghetti with sauce, but to put the sauce on top of the pasta, so they will look more aesthetically pleasing.
