Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1 lb minced pork or ground beef (or a combination of both)
1/4 lb diced pancetta, optional
1 14 oz can(s) crushed tomatoes
4 Tbsp tomato paste
1 lb dried macaroni (straight, not elbow)
4 large eggs, beaten
4 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 lb edam or cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat olive oil over medium and cook the onion until soft and just golden.
  • 2. If you are using garlic, add it at this point and cook for a couple more minutes, being careful not to burn it.
  • 3. Add the ground meat and pancetta (if using), season with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring frequently, breaking up the ground meat as you stir, until browned, about 10-15 minutes
  • 4. Add the crushed tomato and tomato paste, mix well and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, and then uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, adding a little water if necessary to make sure the mixture doesn't dry out.
  • 5. While the meat and tomato sauce simmers, cook the pasta in generously salted water, draining it and rinsing with cold water about 2 minutes before it's done so it's cooked just less than al dente.
  • 6. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • 7. When the sauce is done, check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • 8. In a large bowl, gently mix the sauce and the pasta, being careful not to break up the noodles and check for seasoning one more time, adjusting as necessary.
  • 9. Break the eggs into a separate bowl, beat them and mix in the Parmesan, then gently incorporate the egg / cheese mixture into the pasta / sauce mixture.
  • 10. Grease a large, oven-proof, baking dish (13x9" is a good size) and fill it with the pasta mixture.
  • 11. Sprinkle the grated edam or cheddar cheese on top of everything and bake for 30-45 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden and crisp.
  • 12. When done cooking, remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes, cut, serve.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb macaroni noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 slice bacon, sliced thinly
&frac 12 cup red wine
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
2 eggs
1 cup yoghurt
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni per the directions on the package. When the noodles are al dente, drain them and then fill the pot with cold water. Set aside.

  • Cook for 30 minutes, until top becomes dark and crunchy. Allow to cool out of the oven for 15 minutes. Best when cooled completely, refrigerated covered overnight and reheated the next day.
