Title: Maltese macaroni
Post by: chrissa on August 07, 2012, 12:47:21 pm
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
3 rashers bacon
400grams mince (beef or pork or veal or a combination)
I use half beef and half pork
2 teaspoons tomato paste
Beef stock cube
Small Tin of crushed tomatoes
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
500g large macaroni shells

Chop Onion garlic & bacon in TMX 5 seconds/speed 5
Add some oil, sauté 3 mins/100o/Speed 1
Add mince 10 mins/varoma temp/reverse/speed soft
Add tomatoes & tomato paste & stock cube salt & pepper 14 mins/varoma temp/reverse/speed soft Meanwhile, Cook macaroni shells in salted boiling water until just soft and drain.  Stir in the meat sauce, add eggs and milk.  Pour into baking dish, cook 1 hour 180oC uncovered.  If it browns too much, cover with foil.  Serve hot or cold.

This recipe is suitable to freeze. I reheat in the microwave for lunch, although its better reheated in the oven.

Yes you can freeze it.

I freeze it in smaller portions that I take to work and I reheat in the microwave for lunch, although its better reheated in the oven

This sounds like our style of meal. Does it sort of set?

Yes it sort of sets.  Another traditional method is to wrap it in pastry but I've never tried it that way.  It's called timpana.  I thing there is a similar Italian version.

Looks lovely chrissa. I'm enjoying your pics too, as I always do whenever someone posts one. Sadly however this macaroni doesn't have chocolate like I thought it would  ::
