Minced pasta nests are a popular Italian dish. For us, these are familiar pasta with meatballs, but in an unusual presentation.
This dish looks very interesting and will especially appeal to children, and adults will also like this dish.
You can buy pasta nests at almost any grocery store. They can be baked in the oven or slow cooker, but I suggest a recipe for cooking in a pan.
This is a variant of a delicious, unusual and quick dinner.
Spoil your family with such a simple and awesomely delicious dish!
Ingredients:
- water - 500 ml
- minced pork and beef - 250 g
- pasta nests - 7-8 pcs.
- onion - 1 pc.
- tomato paste - 3 tbsp. l.
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper - to taste
Step by step recipe
1. First, chop the onion.
Since I have a large onion, half of it will be needed.
2. Put 250 g of minced meat in a bowl and add chopped onion.
Pepper the minced meat to taste and salt with about half a cup. l. salt.
Mix everything well.
3. We will stuff such pasta nests with the prepared minced meat.
Put minced meat in the middle of each nest.
I use pork and beef, but you can take any.
4. Put the stuffed pasta nests in the pan.
The diameter of my pan is 24 cm. I have 7-8 pieces.
If the pan is larger, then, accordingly, more of these nests will fit.
5. We take 500 ml of water and salt it a little. To this we add about 3 tbsp. l. tomato paste.
Mix everything until smooth.
6. Pour pasta in a frying pan with this mixture. If there is no tomato paste, then you can do without it by filling the pasta with salted water, but with tomato paste it is tastier.
Cover the pan with a lid and set on fire. When the liquid in the pan boils, reduce the heat to low.
Cook pasta over low heat for about 25-30 minutes.
If suddenly the water has boiled away, and the pasta is not yet ready, then add a little more boiling water.
The nests with minced meat in a frying pan turned out to be very tasty and satisfying.
They are very easy to prepare and will help out when there is no time to cook for a long time.
Be sure to cook them, it is very tasty and simple.
