Macaroni casserole with sausage
Description
1. First, place the water in a saucepan over heat. Bring to a boil, season with salt to taste, and add the pasta. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the pasta remains firm and slightly underdone. 2. Then drain in a colander and, if desired, rinse under cold water. 3. Grease a heatproof baking dish with a piece of butter; add the remaining butter to a skillet and melt. 4. Place half of the pasta into the baking dish. The recipe for baked pasta with sausage can be enhanced by sprinkling a small amount of olive oil over the pasta. 5. Peel the onion and dice it. Add to the skillet and sauté until golden brown. 6. Meanwhile, cut the sausages into cubes and fry them briefly together with the onion. 7. Pour in the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and remove from heat. 8. Transfer the filling into the baking dish and spread evenly. 9. Top with the remaining pasta. 10. Grate the cheese and sprinkle over the top. Place in a preheated oven for just 10–15 minutes, until the baked pasta with sausage develops an appetizing crust.
