Step by step recipe
1. First, let's prepare the minced meat.

How long to cook lumaconi, see the package. It is advisable not to cook the pasta a little. In the process of infusion, the lumaconi will reach the desired consistency.
Water with lumaconi and minced meat has boiled, remove unnecessary foam with a spoon. If, in the future, foam forms during cooking, it is advisable to remove it. This will not affect the taste of the soup, but it will look prettier and more appetizing.
