Macaroni with meat
Description
For making macaronnik, it's best to use pasta made from durum wheat. This way, it definitely won't turn into a homogeneous mass after cooking. You can use any kind of ground meat, the main thing is that it shouldn't be too dry after cooking and shouldn't contain large chunks. To achieve this, break up the meat with a spatula while stirring, and add a little water if necessary. You can use any cheese you prefer. Be sure to cover the dish with foil, otherwise the top layer will dry out.

Step 2
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until done. The cooking time depends on the type, so refer to the instructions on the package. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander thoroughly, then let the pasta cool down. Do not rinse under water at any cost, otherwise the casserole will fall apart when sliced.

Pour vegetable oil into a skillet, add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Add the meat mixture (I used pork and beef), then pour in water, season with salt and pepper. Place the skillet over medium heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes until the meat is cooked through, then remove from heat. If there is a little liquid remaining, it's not a problem.
