Spaghetti casserole à la Mama

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500g spaghetti
• 500 g Mett (meat sausage)
• 1 onion(s)
• 250 ml milk
• 1 egg(s)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 30 g butter
• 50 g Parmesan, grated
• 50 g breadcrumbs
• e.g. salt and pepper
• n. B. herbs
• Butter for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente (1 minute less than the package instructions). Season the ground meat with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste. Finely dice the onion and mix with the ground meat. Whisk the milk, egg, and cornstarch together. Butter a baking dish. Add half of the spaghetti, spread the ground meat mixture on top, and add the remaining spaghetti. Spread the milk and egg mixture over the spaghetti. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese and a few knobs of butter. Place the covered baking dish in an oven preheated to 180°C. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes. If necessary, use the grill setting to brown the pasta nicely. I’ve only posted this recipe so I don’t forget it. My mother has been making it this way for 45 years. If other people like it, I’m even happier!
