If you need to quickly prepare a delicious and unusual dinner, try making stuffed nests of spaghetti. To do this, you need the following products.

To cook this dish, you will need special pasta with Italian roots - nests (tagliatelle). These pasta can be bought at almost any store, in fact it is a kind of noodle, which is folded in the form of a circle. The dish, in spite of its original serving, is very easy to prepare and will not require any special skills from you. This is not the first time I have been preparing such nests from pasta with minced meat in the oven and I want to note that it is really very tasty! The pasta must first be boiled, and then filled with the filling, in this case it will be minced meat. The highlight of this recipe will be tomato-sour cream sauce, which will be baked. Thanks to him, the dish is not only hearty and tasty, but also very tender and juicy! We will add all this at the end with a cheese cap to give the nests a more appetizing and elegant look. This dish will not only be a luxurious idea for dinner for the whole family, but also will be a great idea for a festive table. I recommend to try! A step-by-step recipe with a photo is presented below.

Ingredients:

• 12 pasta nests.
• 500 grams of minced meat.
• 2 onions.
• 1 medium-sized carrot.
• 2 tbsp. tablespoons of tomato paste or sauce.
• 2 tbsp. spoons of sour cream of any fat content.
• 150 grams of hard cheese.
• mayonnaise to taste.
• salt and spices to taste.
• vegetable oil.

• Servings Per Container: 12.

For the filling, combine the minced meat (I have beef + pork), one chopped onion and add salt and spices to choose from.

Then boil the pasta. To do this, bring salted water to a boil, and then put our pasta nests on the bottom of the pan. Boil the nests in parts so that they lie in one layer. As soon as the pasta is put into the water, it is necessary to stir them a little with a spatula so that the pasta does not stick to the bottom, and after boiling, cook them for no more than 3-5 minutes, depending on the producer, to the state of al dente. Water must be poured in such a quantity that it covers pasta by 1-2 cm.

We take out the ready-made nests and put them in a baking dish, which must be greased with oil.

For the sauce, fry the grated carrots and onions, diced. Strong frying is not necessary, it is enough that the vegetables become soft. Then add tomato paste, sour cream and cook all together for another 2-3 minutes.

Then we pour 1.5 cups of water, I use the one that remains after cooking the pasta. Add salt to taste, you can add spices, bring everything to a boil and turn it off. The sauce is ready!

Now we are preparing our baking dish. We fill the pasta nests with minced meat, slightly pushing the middle, crush the minced meat with a fork. Nests can be deposited both separately from each other, and evenly, at your discretion.

From above, pour everything with cooked sauce, trying to get around the minced meat.

Then we apply a “cap” of mayonnaise on the minced meat. You can replace with sour cream, but in our family this option is more like.

On mayonnaise, evenly distribute the grated cheese.

We bake the nests in the oven at 180-200 * C for about an hour. I focus on the ruddy cheese crust on top.

It remains to cut the dish into portions and can be served. Pasta nests made according to this recipe - a self-sufficient dish and side dish are definitely worthless here. Only if desired, when serving, you can add fresh herbs or any vegetables.

So you can cook at the same time a simple, but at the same time, gourmet dinner! It turns out an excellent treat, from which no one truly can stand!

Bon Appetit!!!
