Baked pasta And again, a recipe for lovers of pasta, pizza, lasagna and other dishes of Italian cuisine. We love them, but we do not always have enough time and energy to prepare a full-fledged dish, executed according to all the rules. However, this does not mean that the only way out is to go to dinner in a restaurant or buy a semi-finished product and bring it to mind at home. You can cheat and cook something very fast, but to taste, not inferior to the original recipe. For example, a pasta with minced meat and vegetables. What is not lasagna a la "really want, but no time"? If there is a ready-made forcemeat in the refrigerator, then the maximum time will be taken by preparing the Béchamel sauce, and for an experienced hostess this is not a problem. If you are not experienced yet, then ... well, do you ever need to become one? So let's start with a simple - cooking a delicious pasta casserole. First of all, this dish will be appreciated by children, who in general with much greater pleasure eat not just potatoes, rice or meat, but pies and casseroles with the same products. A big plus of these dishes is that most of the cooking time is baked in the oven, which does not require your attention.
