Italian cuisine is absolutely delicious, in which my kids, my husband and I agree. We used to visit our favorite Italian about once a week, and at least one of us always ate Rigatoni al Forno.

Unfortunately, our favorite Italian has sensitively attracted prices, since then we do not go down that often. Then I spent a lot of time experimenting, but never got the Rigatoni right. Until my nice neighbor - pure-blooded Italian - has revealed her own recipe. Since then it works with the Rigatoni.

Ingredients and preparation:

  1. For a big casserole dish I cook 350 - 500 g of rigatoni (you can of course also take other noodles) in salted water.
  2. Meanwhile, fry 200 g of minced meat, add 200 g of cooked ham, finely chop an onion, as well as a clove of garlic.
  3. Add one tablespoon of tomato puree to the minced meat and sauté.
  4. A can of tomatoes (whether lumpy or chunky is a matter of taste), as well as a cup of whipped cream.
  5. Boil with stirring, simmer for about 20 minutes.
  6. Then add half a cup of milk.
  7. A small tin of peas (I prefer TK peas) and a slice of mushrooms in slices and season with broth, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, chili and rosemary. If you want to make it easy - like me - take pizza spice.
  8. Mix the drained noodles with the sauce and place in a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with plenty of grated cheese.
  9. • Bake at 175 degrees air circulation or 200 degrees top / bottom heat.

And there's an Italian salad with yoghurt dressing.
