When my children come to visit, they are always looking forward to this noodle casserole, which they have eaten so much in their childhood.
ingredients
(For 4 good portions)
- 400 g Hörnchennudeln (I take something smaller with egg)
- 400 g of mixed minced meat
- 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves of garlic (at will)
- 1 can of lumpy tomatoes
- about 3 tablespoons tomato paste (more or less as you like)
- Salt, black pepper from the mill, Italian spice mixture
- a little olive oil (or other oil) for searing
- 150 g grated Emmentaler or other cheese
preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200 ° (top and bottom heat) circulating air approx. 180 °
- Grease a larger casserole dish with a little butter or olive oil
preparation
- Cook the noodles in plenty of salted water until firm, pour most of the noodles into the casserole dish after pouring, and place some as "lids".
- Wash the peppers and cut into pieces. I take only half of the larger pods and freeze the rest for the next time.
- Peel onions and garlic and cut into small cubes. I pass the garlic through a garlic press.
- Put 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (or other oil) in a hot pan and sauté the onions with the garlic in a glass. Add the minced meat and fry it with the help of a fork.
- Add the tomato paste and some of the spices and stir again with the fork.
- Now add the pieces of pepper to sauté everything at not too high heat and then add the tin with the tomato pieces.
- Now simmer the whole thing until the pieces of pepper are cooked, but still firm.
- Season the whole with the spices.
- Put the finished minced meat sauce over the pasta and mix well. Spread the remaining pasta thinly and sprinkle with cheese. If you like, you can add some butterflakes.
- Place the casserole in the middle of the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is golden brown and crispy (about 20 minutes).
- Since I do not like the crunchy cheese, I'll add some of the grated cheese to the noodle mince. Good succeed!
