This will significantly reduce the time you spend in the kitchen, but will not worsen the taste of the dish at all. Now let's move on directly to cooking the pasta. First, make meatballs, for this, soak breadcrumbs in pasteurized milk for 8 minutes. Mix the mince with pre-beaten chicken eggs, salt to your taste and sprinkle with pepper, then add breadcrumbs and knead well. Form small balls from the prepared mince, put them on a baking sheet (cover it with parchment) and put in the oven for 20 minutes. Meatballs should be cooked at a temperature of 175 degrees. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add crushed garlic and fry until golden, then discard (you won’t need it anymore). Now pour the prepared pasta sauce into the same dish, heat it up a little and add the already prepared meatballs. Simmer for 15 minutes. While the meatballs are cooking in the oven, boil 500 grams of Italian pasta (spaghetti), then drain the remaining water. Place the pasta on a nice plate, and top with the meatballs and sauce. To make the dish “sparkle”, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley, you can also add expensive cheeses, such as Parmesan. Pasta sauces are varied, so if you often cook this dish, experiment with recipes, then the spaghetti will taste different every time. Good luck!
Sea paste with garlic and milk sauce
If you still don’t know how to cookpasta at home correctly, then you've come to the right place. Our recipes do not require special skills and do not take much time. So, for shrimp lovers, we offer to make "sea" pasta. Sauces for it are varied, but our choice is garlic-milk dressing. Ingredients:
- 250 grams of Italian pasta (you can use spaghetti, butterflies or others)
- garlic - 4 small denticles
- ¼ kilogram of store frozen shrimp
- olive oil
- 100 grams of not very fatty cream (home is better not to use)
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- 3 large spoon-free slices of wheat flour
Method of preparation:Boil 250 grams of Italian pasta in slightly salted water. To prepare the pasta, do not cook the spaghetti until fully cooked - remove from the stove 2 minutes before they are completely cooked. Meanwhile, fry the crushed garlic cloves in refined olive oil for 2 minutes. In the same pan, add the pre-boiled shrimp, butter, wheat flour and low-fat cream. If the dressing is very thick, it is better to dilute it with water. Stir the pasta sauce over low heat until a thick consistency is formed (this will take about 3 minutes), then put it on a large plate on top of the spaghetti.
