Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 ball(s) of mozzarella
  • 1 garlic clove(s), finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 100 g Parmesan
  • some salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp parsley, dried
  • 3 eggs
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 400 g spaghetti, cooked all dente
  • 0.2 can tomatoes, peeled, crushed with a fork

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

the choice of sauce is interchangeable, it can also be leftovers from the day before

Cut the mozzarella into 6 slices, halve them, and set aside. Season the tomatoes with oregano, salt, and pepper, and set aside. Mix together the garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Now stir in the spaghetti. Using a spoon and fork, twist the nests and place them in the holes of a pre-oiled muffin tin. Place 2-3 spoonfuls of sauce and a piece of mozzarella on each nest. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the muffin tin on the middle rack for 15 minutes, then on the top rack for 10 minutes. Remove the nests from the tin with a spoon and arrange them on a plate. As I said, you can create sauces however you like. One of my classics: pieces of salmon with herb cream. Or you can simply make several nests at the same time. The eggs are important for binding them.
