Pasta casserole (vermicelli) with cottage cheese like in kindergarten

Well, I would like to finish my selection with a classic recipe for casserole with pasta and cottage cheese. The same as most of us were prepared in kindergarten in early childhood.

As you can see, having a small amount of ingredients in the kitchen does not prevent you from preparing wonderful, tasty dishes. And pasta casserole is the best proof of this.

Well, that’s all for today, thank you for your attention.

It will always help you out if guests are on the doorstep or you need to quickly prepare a delicious dinner. It can be made from different types of pasta, be it vermicelli or feathers. It may also differ in the method of preparation, whether you use them raw or cooked.

There are also no special requirements for minced meat; you can take lean poultry from chicken or turkey, or you can use only meat from beef or pork. You can also buy it or prepare it at home yourself, it will have almost no effect on the taste.

Let's start preparing the simplest casseroles.

This combination of products is used to prepare navy-style pasta, Italian lasagna or Greek-style pastitsio. Look how many variations there are of almost one dish! They differ in the method of preparation and in the fact that different seasonings are used.

We will prepare the simplest version of the casserole with the addition of adjika, which will add flavor and sourness to the meat.

Ingredients:

• 0.5 kg pasta
• 0.4 kg minced meat
• 1 onion
• 3 tbsp. adzhiki
• 200 g cheese
• 2 tbsp. mayonnaise

For filling:

• 3 eggs
• 3 tbsp. sour cream
• Pepper, salt

First, let's prepare all the ingredients. To do this, finely chop the onion.

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Now heat a frying pan with oil and fry the onion until it turns golden.

Then it comes with chilled minced meat. Pour half a glass of boiling water over it.

Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for five minutes. Then add adjika and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Spices and salt are added to the meat at the very end, so it will be juicier.

We will cook the pasta until half cooked, or rather 6 minutes. We lower them into boiling salt water. Then drain the water and add a piece of butter.

Now let's prepare the sauce. Beat three eggs, mix them with sour cream and season with spices and salt.

Take a mold, grease the sides and bottom with butter and lay out the layers. First comes half of the pasta, then the minced meat, which we cover with the rest of the pasta.

Soak with filling.

Now you need to add cheese, but it may burn during the cooking process, to avoid this, we will combine it with mayonnaise.

Spread this layer evenly.

Bake at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Delicious recipe with minced meat and tomatoes

Any pasta, as a side dish, is perfectly complemented with tomatoes or their derivatives, for example, ketchup or tomato juice. That's why so many people love to make casserole with tomatoes, which we can use raw or canned.

The highlight of this recipe is that we prepare the meat filling in an unusual way and do not boil the pasta.

Ingredients:

• 500 g pasta
• Sunflower oil
• 500 g minced meat
• 1 onion
• 0.5 l milk
• 250 g canned tomatoes (fresh can be used)
• 200 g cheese
• 200 g sour cream
• Salt, pepper, seasonings for meat

First of all, fry the onion until golden brown. To do this, you need to chop it finely and preheat the frying pan with oil.

Then add the prepared minced meat, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

When you see that the meat has changed color, pour milk into it. And at this stage you need to add any seasonings.

You can use any tomatoes: fresh or canned. Peel the tomatoes; this is easier to do if you pour boiling water over the fresh vegetables. With canned ones, the skin can be easily removed. Grind the fruits and add them to the meat filling, which continues to simmer over low heat.

Since we have a lot of sauce, we will use dry pasta. During the cooking process, they will be saturated with the filling and will be incredibly tasty.

Now take a deep form, pour a ladle of sauce into it, and sprinkle pasta on top.

Spread sour cream on them point by point and pour in a second layer of sauce. And we continue to alternate pasta with sour cream and filling until all the ingredients are in the mold.

The finishing layer must be sauce! Place grated cheese on it.

Now preheat the oven at 170 degrees and set the timer for 30 minutes.

Bon appetit!

Pasta casserole with Bechamel sauce

Pasta came to us from Italy, and there, as you know, they like to cook it with this sauce. Do you think it's difficult to cook? After reading this article, you will realize that you were deeply mistaken. After all, it takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare!

I will describe each step in detail so that you can easily repeat them and please your family with a very tasty dinner.

Ingredients:

• 400 g durum pasta
• 300 g cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 5 g butter
• 600 g minced meat
• 75 g tomato paste
• 2 tbsp. cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• Pepper
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Bechamel sauce:

• 1 liter of milk
• 150 g wheat flour
• 50 g butter
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 pinches of nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp salt

First we prepare the sauce. Pour olive oil into a saucepan and add a piece of butter to it. Let's wait for both types to combine into a homogeneous consistency.

Then sift the required amount of flour and immediately rub it thoroughly with butter. The flour will become a nice creamy color.
Heat the milk and gradually add it to the flour. Carefully breaking up the lumps.

Once you have a homogeneous mass, add nutmeg and salt and cook for another 7 minutes. You need to stir constantly.

Prepare the meat filling. To do this, fry the garlic and onion well in olive oil.

Then add the minced meat to them and simmer the filling until done with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes. After this time, add tomato paste, pepper, cinnamon and salt.

Drop a spoonful of vegetable oil into boiling water, add salt and lower the pasta. Cook until done.

Let's start collecting layers.

The mold should be greased with soft butter. We form the first layer from part of the pasta, on which we spread Bechamel sauce, and then cheese.

The cheese is filled with meat filling.

On top of which is pasta again.

Spread a thick layer of sauce and sprinkle cheese on top.

Our dish will sit in the oven for about 40 minutes at 180 degrees.

To prevent the casserole from falling apart, let it cool for about fifteen minutes and then just cut it.

Bake spaghetti (vermicelli) with minced meat and mushrooms in the oven

Mushrooms allow you to add piquancy to any dish, be it pasta. They increase the nutritional value and that is why it is one of the favorite dishes of all men.

I suggest you watch the video in which the hostess describes in detail each step in the process of preparing the casserole.

In addition to champignons, you can use any mushrooms. They can be fresh, canned or frozen.

Step-by-step recipe with milk, egg and cheese

This is the simplest casserole option, which is the most common. It is the combination of eggs and milk that is most often used as a filling.

Ingredients:

• 300 g pasta (feathers)
• 300 g minced meat
• Bulb
• 1 glass of milk
• 2 eggs
• 3 cloves garlic
• 150 g cheese
• Salt, spices

Let's start preparing the feathers. They need to be poured into boiling salt water. The water should completely cover them.

Peel and cut the onion. We send it to fry. At this time, finely chop the garlic and add it to the onion.

You can make minced meat yourself, or you can buy it ready-made. If you had it frozen, then you need to defrost it in advance. This way it will mix more evenly with the onion and won’t turn out dry.

Place it on the onion. Simmer the filling over low heat until cooked. We will salt the meat at the very end of cooking.

The pasta is already cooked, drain the water from it and rinse it under running water. This is necessary to wash off the swollen gluten and prevent the products from sticking together.

The dressing is prepared very quickly. Mix eggs, salt and milk and beat until smooth. You can add spices and seasonings here.

Grate all the cheese.

Place some of the pasta in a baking dish and cover it with a layer of filling. And again a layer of feathers. Soak everything with milk filling.

The mold is placed in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and baked for 20-25 minutes.

Cooking a casserole without cheese like in kindergarten

For this type of dish we need to take lean meat for minced meat, it can be chicken, turkey or beef. We also do not add seasonings to dishes for children; we remember that children can be allergic, so we only use salt.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups vermicelli
• 300 g minced meat
• 1 egg
• 100 ml milk
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil

Since we are cooking for children, then we will take the smallest type of pasta - vermicelli. Boil it until tender and mix with butter, otherwise it will stick together into porridge.

Pour a little oil into a frying pan and add the minced meat, fry it a little, then pour in ¼ cup of water and simmer until all the moisture has evaporated. Then you need to salt the meat a little. We use nothing but salt.

Mix vermicelli with meat and place in a greased pan.

In order for all the ingredients to simply combine with each other, you need to soak them in the sauce. To fill, whisk the egg with milk (if necessary, you can replace it with broth) and add to the casserole.

We have all the ingredients ready for use, all that remains is to achieve a golden brown crust, so we put the pan in the oven at 180 degrees. The dish will bake for about 25 minutes.

Recipe with frozen vegetables

Nowadays it is fashionable not to preserve vegetables for the winter, but to freeze them. Therefore, almost any housewife always has zucchini, broccoli or green beans in stock. But, if you don’t have that much freezer space for this purpose, you can buy ready-made frozen vegetable mixture at any store. The composition can be any, and the cost is on average 100 rubles per 400 grams.

Those who want a crispy crust will definitely add grated cheese before putting the casserole in the oven, but it will be delicious without cheese.

Subtleties of cooking

• Only the freshest. For superior flavor, use fresh ingredients.
• Preheated oven. The pasta will bake evenly and turn out juicy if you place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees.
• Correct mode. Modern ovens offer a variety of cooking modes. When it comes to a dish that combines several ingredients, uniform heating and circulation of hot air is important. For casseroles, the convection mode combined with simultaneous top and bottom heating is suitable.
• Let it brew. After baking, leave the pan with the finished dish in the switched off but still warm oven for 10 minutes. During this time, the sauce will set and will not leak out when you cut the dish into portioned pieces.

Each national cuisine has its own version of casserole. The Italians have this spicy, aromatic lasagne, the British have a pudding that melts in your mouth, the French version is gratin - a juicy and high-calorie potato-based dish. It is believed that it was the French chef who first came up with the idea of ​​baking leftovers from dinner in egg wash. This is how the first casserole came about.
