Ingredients
- fresh pasta (at least enough to cover the bottom of your pan), in pretty much any shape or form
- 1 medium onion
- about 350 g minced meat ($variable): you can use any sort of meat here as long as it's finely chopped, or for a vegetarian option you could use soy/tofu, eggplant or zucchini instead
- as much mushrooms (fresh or tinned) as you like ($variable): button mushrooms, portabello, shiitake, pretty much any type will do. These can be left out, but the dish is much better with them.
- approx. 2 dl tomato purée/sauce/crushed/what have you
- 1-2 dl sundried tomatoes
- lots of fresh mozzarella ($variable): any melty cheese will do, and it can ge grated or sliced
- spices to taste ($variable): fresh or dried basil, black pepper, garlic, herbs and did I already mention basil, if I didn't: Basil!
- a big pinch of salt
How to make The really rather good oven pasta
Heat oven to 200°c
- Chop onion (have a good cry), sundried tomatoes and mushrooms
- Fry onion, meat and mushrooms (you can use the oil that the sundried tomatoes come in, or use olive oil instead)
- Add the sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and the tomato sauce and stir everything together - the resulting sauce should be pretty liquid, since it's what's going to "boil" the pasta
- Add spices
- Spread pasta on to the bottom of an oven-proof dish, drizzle some oil on top
- Spread sauce over pasta, cover everything with cheese
- Put into oven for about 15-20 minutes/until cheese is golden brown & pasta is soft
Eat & enjoy!
