Delicious pasta casserole (cooking)
All housewives should know the recipes for its use. After all, such dishes are made very quickly, but they turn out incredibly satisfying and tasty.
So, a classic egg and pasta casserole requires the following products:
- large fresh eggs - 4 pcs.;
- hard cheese - about 125 g;
- pasta (it is better to take “feathers”) from durum wheat - approximately 150 g;
- coarse salt, black pepper, green onion - use to taste;
- fresh, non-rancid oil - approximately 70 g;
- boiled sausage - about 100 g.
Food preparation
The casserole from the culinary recipes we are considering turns out to be very tasty and aromatic. This dish is liked not only by adults, but also by small children. It can be prepared using completely different ingredients. We decided to additionally use boiled sausage. It should first be freed from the shell and then cut into very thin strips.
As for pasta, they need to be poured into salted boiling water and cooked for 5-9 minutes. Next, you need to discard them in a colander, rinse and shake thoroughly.
Preparing the egg filling
If you follow all the recipe requirements, you will definitely get a very tasty casserole. Pasta, sausage, eggs, cheese and butter are a classic set of ingredients that are necessary to prepare the presented dish. We described above how some of them are processed. Now I would like to tell you how to do the filling. To do this, break the eggs into a bowl and beat thoroughly (use a mixer), adding pepper and salt to taste, as well as finely chopped onions (it is better to use green ones). As for the cheese, you should simply grate it on a large grater.
Forming a pasta casserole
Egg and pasta casserole is quite easy to form. To do this, add shredded sausage to the boiled products and mix everything thoroughly. Next, the resulting mixture is laid out in a deep form, generously greased with oil. Finally, all ingredients are poured with beaten eggs and covered with grated cheese.
Bake the dish in the oven
Egg and pasta casserole doesn't take very long to cook in the oven. But this is only if it was placed in a preheated cabinet (up to 250 degrees). The dish is considered fully prepared when it has set well and is covered with an appetizing and slightly browned cheese cap. For this you may need about half an hour of free time.
How to properly present it to the dinner table?
After the pasta casserole is ready, it should be removed and cooled slightly right in the pan. Next, the dish needs to be cut into small pieces (preferably square or rectangular), placed on flat plates and served to family members along with a drink such as jelly or dried fruit compote. Enjoy your meal!
Making a sweet pasta casserole
What is the most delicious pasta casserole: with egg, cheese or milk? Both dishes turn out to be very satisfying and nutritious. But if you adhere to a vegetarian diet, then only the second option is suitable for you. After all, it does not include such a product as sausage. It should also be noted that due to the use of granulated sugar, the presented casserole turns out to be sweetish, and it can be safely presented to the table as an original dessert. But first things first.
So, to prepare this dish we will need:
- from durum wheat (it is advisable to use spaghetti) - about 100 g;
- fresh chicken egg - about 2 pcs.;
- store-bought low-fat milk - about 100 ml;
- sand-sugar - 2 full large spoons;
- medium-sized salt - use to taste;
- cold tap water - 1.6 l;
- breadcrumbs - several handfuls;
- fresh butter - used for greasing dishes;
- powdered sugar - a few spoons (use for sprinkling the finished dish).
Preparing Ingredients
How to make pasta with egg? Vegetarian dishes are always easy to prepare. To please your loved ones with a delicious breakfast, you will only need 50 minutes of free time.
First, boil the pasta in slightly salted water. Next, you need to discard them in a colander, rinse and shake vigorously.
Making the fill
Any pasta casserole requires the use of egg wash. After all, it is thanks to it that your dish will set, become tasty and very satisfying. To make this filling, you should vigorously beat chicken eggs along with store-bought milk and granulated sugar. As a result, you should get a liquid and sweet cream-colored mass.
Forming the dish
Making a vegetarian dish is quite easy. It is necessary to take a deep form, and then generously grease it with cooking oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Next, you need to put the pre-boiled spaghetti into the bowl and pour the sweet egg-milk mixture over it. At the end, the entire dish should be sprinkled with breadcrumbs again.
How to bake correctly?
It is recommended to prepare such a sweet dish in a preheated cabinet (up to 250 degrees). This may take up about half an hour of your free time. During the specified period, the egg mass will set well, making the casserole tasty and satisfying. The surface of the dish should brown slightly.
How should it be served?
Unlike the casserole that is prepared using sausage, it is recommended to serve the sweet dish only when it has cooled down. This is the only way you can appreciate the unsurpassed taste of this dessert.
After the casserole is ready, it must be removed and left in the bowl for a while. When it has cooled and set properly, it should be sprinkled with powder and cut into pieces. Next, you need to distribute it on plates and serve it for breakfast along with hot chocolate or any other drink. Bon appetit!
Let's sum it up
Today there are many options for preparing casseroles. Eggs and pasta are always its main components. But if you wish, you can add completely different ingredients to this dish. So, to get a hearty dish, it is recommended to additionally use boiled or ham, sausages or even minced meat.
If you decide to enjoy a sweet casserole, then serve it to invited guests along with jam, preserves, honey or condensed milk. In any case, such a dish turns out to be very tasty, and it is simply impossible to refuse it. To verify this, we suggest using one of the above recipes.

Hello dear grandmother Emma. I often cook dishes based on your recipes. My family really loved pasta casserole. However, when I prepared it for the first time, I didn’t really like the combination of the delicate cheese filling and breading. This is my subjective opinion.
