Pasta Bake

This is easy. The base of this bake is a very old recipe from my Grandma. She made it for her family and tought my Mom, her daughter-in-law.

The very strange name of the base recipe still exists in our family: Nudeln mit Hund as is Pasta with Dog.

Do not fear, it is mixed pork and beef mince. My Dad as a small child asked his Mom what she had in the pan cooking. Maybe she was stressed. She told him it was dog meat. That was nearly 90 years ago.

I basically used the same base recipe, just added garlic, chili and some fancy modern spices.

Mixed with the pasta and a royal cream and egg sauce and topped with cheese, it went in the oven at 180 C fan for 18 min. Coming out of the oven I let the dish rest for 10 minutes.
