Sailor-style macaroni (just like grandma's)
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Classic recipes may seem impossible to improve, but that's not the case! There are several secrets to making delicious "Fлотская лапша" (sailor-style macaroni). For example, don't use pre-made ground meat—instead, boil the meat and then pass it through a meat grinder; this will make it juicier. I recommend cutting the onion into large pieces and frying until golden to ensure its flavor stands out in the final dish. Cook the pasta until al dente; it will finish cooking together with the meat and vegetables. Serve the dish hot.
