Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This dish is a great option for a hearty lunch, dinner, or snack. You can treat guests with it, serving alongside light sandwiches, and everyone will be satisfied—nothing else will be needed. You can also add mushrooms or various vegetables (such as leek, bell peppers, etc.) to the filling, depending on your taste preferences. Instead of chicken, you can use pork or beef, but in my opinion, this version is the most tender and delicious. So, check out the recipe.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Sauté the onion in vegetable oil until soft, then add homemade tomato puree or tomato juice, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Mix well and bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Step 4

    Then add the chicken drumsticks and breast to the sauce, pour in the wine, mix, and cook covered for 25-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    When the chicken is ready, remove it from the sauce, shred the breast meat, and take the meat off the drumsticks, then chop it with a knife. Return the meat to the skillet, and add the chopped cauliflower. You can cut the cauliflower very finely if you don't want it to be noticeable, or coarsely if you want its texture to be more pronounced. Simmer for another 10–12 minutes, covered, until the cauliflower becomes tender.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Cook the spaghetti in salted water until done. I use thick spaghetti tubes, as this results in a denser crust.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Step 7

    Mix the eggs with sour cream and cheese grated on a coarse grater.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Step 8

    Mix until smooth and combine with the prepared meat filling.

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

    Grease the baking dish thoroughly with butter. Now the most interesting stage begins. Starting from the center, arrange the spaghetti in a single layer in a spiral, covering the entire bottom and sides. The process is labor-intensive and quite time-consuming, but it's worth it.

  10. 10

    Step 10

    Step 10

    Place the filling consisting of sautéed meat with cauliflower and egg-sour cream mixture into the baking dish. Top with the remaining pasta.

  11. 11

    Step 11

    Step 11

    Bake the pie in the oven at 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

  12. 12

    Step 12

    Step 12

    Turn the finished cake onto a plate, garnish with herbs, and serve.
