Baked bolognese pasta with pork and cheese

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta as usual.

   

2. Drain the cooked pasta and let it cool.

   

3. Peel one onion and finely chop or blend it together with the other vegetables. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

   

4. Heat the sunflower oil in a skillet and briefly sauté the vegetable mixture. Then make the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, milk, and tomato paste.

   

5. Grease a baking dish and layer the chopped onions on the bottom, followed by the ground meat, vegetable mixture, grated hard cheese, and cooked pasta. Pour the sauce over everything and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

   

6. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for just under an hour, about 50 minutes.

Tip: You can replace the mayonnaise in the sauce with the same amount of sour cream. The ground meat goes into the baking dish raw, so before serving, check that it is cooked through at the bottom and no longer pink.
