Each nest equals one serving. No need to be smart with the design, because it looks beautiful in itself. Of course, if you are careful when cooking. Minced meat is usually laid out inside in the form of meatballs. You can add rice, onion, garlic, various spices to it.

Potato nests stuffed with minced meat are a little more difficult to cook. For starters, a gentle push. Then form something similar to a nest from it (it is better to take a pastry bag with nozzles for this). Everything else is the same as in the pasta example.

Meat dishes are prepared from minced meat and themselves become the basis, waiting for filling. They look like stuffed cutlets, zrazy. With the only difference in shape and size.

To prepare this dish, you will need special pasta with Italian roots - nests (tagliatelle). These pasta can be bought in almost any store, in fact it is a kind of noodles, which is folded in the form of a circle. The dish, despite its original serving, is very simple to prepare and does not require any special skills from you. This is not the first time I have been preparing such nests of pasta with minced meat in the oven, and I would like to note that it is really very tasty! Pasta must first be boiled, and then filled with filling, in this case it will be minced meat. The highlight of this recipe will be tomato-sour cream sauce, in which they will be baked. Thanks to him, the dish is not only hearty and tasty, but also very tender and juicy! We will add all this at the end with a cheese “hat” to give the nests a more appetizing and elegant look. Such a dish will not only be a luxurious idea for dinner for the whole family, but will also be a great idea for a festive table. I recommend to try! A step-by-step recipe with a photo is presented below.

Ingredients:

• 12 nests of pasta.
• 500 grams of minced meat.
• 2 bulbs.
• 1 medium sized carrot.
• 2 tbsp. spoons of tomato paste or sauce.
• 2 tbsp. spoons of sour cream of any fat content.
• 150 grams of hard cheese.
• mayonnaise to taste.
• salt and spices to taste.
• vegetable oil.

• Servings Per Container: 12.

For the filling, combine minced meat (I have beef + pork), one chopped onion and add salt and spices of your choice.

Then boil the pasta. To do this, bring salted water to a boil, and then put our pasta nests on the bottom of the pan. We boil the nests in parts so that they lie in one layer. As soon as the pasta is put into the water, it is necessary to move it a little with a spatula so that the pasta does not stick to the bottom, and after boiling, cook them for no more than 3-5 minutes, depending on the manufacturer, until al dente. Water must be poured in such an amount that it covers the pasta by 1-2 cm.

We take out the finished nests and put them in a baking dish, which must be greased with oil.

For the sauce, fry the grated carrots and onions, cut into cubes. It is not necessary to fry strongly, it is enough that the vegetables become soft. Then add tomato paste, sour cream and cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes.

Then pour 1.5 cups of water, I use the one left after cooking the pasta. Add salt to taste, you can add spices, bring everything to a boil and turn it off. The sauce is ready!

Now we prepare our dish for baking. We fill the pasta nests with minced meat, slightly pushing the middle, crush the minced meat with a fork. Nests can be deposited both separately from each other, and in an even layer, at your discretion.

Top everything with the prepared sauce, trying to bypass the minced meat.

Then we put a “cap” of mayonnaise on the minced meat. You can also replace it with sour cream, but our family loves this option more.

Spread grated cheese evenly over mayonnaise.

We bake the nests in the oven at 180-200 * C for about an hour. I'm guided by the ruddy cheese crust on top.

It remains to cut the dish into portions and can be served at the table. Pasta nests prepared according to this recipe are a self-sufficient dish and a side dish is definitely useless here. If you wish, you can add fresh herbs or any vegetables when serving.

This is how you can cook at the same time a simple, but at the same time, delicious dinner! It turns out an excellent treat, from which truly no one can resist!

Bon appetit!!!
