Creamy Pasta Au Gratin - Krämig pastagratäng

CREAMY PASTA AU GRATIN
Krämig pastagratäng

Serves 4

14 oz pasta of your choice
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 lb ground meat of your choice
(I always use a mix of 50% beef, 50% pork)
½ red chili fruit
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
0.2 cup water
salt, black pepper
10 cherry tomatoes
1 cup ready-made cheese sauce
(or home-made, of course, if you have that)
0.6 cup grated cheese

For serving:
parmesan cheese
bread and/or a salad


Heat the oven to 440F.

Boil the pasta until al dente, pour off the water and rinse it in cold water. Drain.

Peel and finely chop onion and garlic and sauté until glossy without browning in a pot with some fat. Add the ground meat and fry until grainy and slightly colored. Remove all the seeds from the chili fruit, then chop it. Add chili, tomato paste, parsley and water to the pot and flavor to taste with salt and pepper.

Alternate pasta, sauce and split tomatoes in a greased, oven-proof pan. Pour the cheese sauce over it all and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes.

Decorate with basil leaves and serve with grated parmesan cheese, bread and/or a salad.

Enjoy!
