Efficiency of the cook
While the pasta is boiling in the pot, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients. For a small portion, 200 g or half a package of pasta is suitable. Together with this, they grind:
- zucchini (500 g) on a medium grater;
- large tomato cubed;
- onions in half rings;
- bulgarian pepper strips.
Zucchini salt, so that they let the juice and absorb the natural preservative. A frying pan is greased with oil. A few cloves of garlic are squeezed into it. For a real explosion of flavors, add paprika or a seasoning that the family has already loved. Spread pepper and onion, fry. In parallel with this light movement of the hand, beat 3 eggs with salt.
During heat treatment, the tomato skin lags behind and curls, drowning out all the tenderness of the dish. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of it. After making several cuts on the fruit, scald it with boiling water and remove the skin.
Baking theory
To begin with, turn on the oven at 180 ° C, let it heat up. Now the products need to be “packaged” correctly. By that time, the pasta will have cooled down and the water will come off them. The casserole turns out to be delicious when you mix all the ingredients in turn in the following sequence:
- salted zucchini;
- fried vegetables;
- lightly beaten eggs;
- diced tomatoes;
- ground black pepper;
- parsley, cilantro or dill.
With a spatula, mix everything thoroughly, but carefully. Prepare a baking dish. With the help of a brush, generously lubricate each wall and bottom with vegetable oil.
There is no standard dosage of salt in recipes. Therefore, whenever possible, try a raw dish and add it.
After these steps, the products are unloaded into a baking sheet. The mass is spread over the surface in such a way that the liquid (from tomatoes and zucchini), as well as their pulp, spreads evenly in shape. Rub hard cheese, sprinkling food on top. It is worth remembering that the thicker the layer, the denser and crisp the crust will be. Load the container into the oven for 30-40 minutes. As soon as the surface of the casserole turns darker, it can be removed. It is recommended to divide the dish into portions while it is still hot. The cut should resemble a sponge or beautifully laid tubes. Read also about carrot casserole with photo!
