Finland

Makaroonilaatikko

Finnish Macaroni bake. Oh it tasted great! The egg milk was new to me, to put that into a bake. But together with the cheese it just tastes reallyyyyy good. Easy to make and that's definitely something to make again. :)

Recipe (for 4 persons)

Ingredients 

400 g / 14,11 oz macaroni noodles

250 g / 8,82 oz mincemeat (mixed)

1 table spoon of flour

1 little can of tomato paste

Salt and pepper

2 eggs

0,5 l / 169,1 fl oz milk

200 g / 7,05 oz grated cheese

Oil

Cook the noodles in saltwater.

Fry the mincemeat in some oil crumbly/friable, then mix it with the tomato paste, flour it and deglaze it with some water. Season it with salt and pepper and let it simmer some minutes.

Put the well cooked noodles in a greased, fireproof cooking tray (like on the picture) and fold in the seasoned mincemeat. Whisk the milk and the eggs. Then pour the egg milk over the mincemeat mixture. Sprinkle the grated cheese on it.
