hearty, vegetarian casserole, good for the colder season.

Roast the finely chopped chestnuts in a hot pan without fat. They can get nice and crispy. Add a little oil and the diced onions and the sliced ​​spring onions. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add the sliced ​​carrots, herb salt, and vegetable stock powder, stir briefly, then cover and simmer for a few minutes over medium heat. After about 5 minutes, add a few sprigs of thyme and about 200 ml of water, cover, and bring to a boil. After another 5 minutes, add the milk, tomato paste, cayenne pepper, and pepper, and continue to cook, covered. After a short time, check the carrots are still firm. Fish out the thyme sprigs. Then add the sour cream and stir through. Add a few frozen herbs to taste, if desired. Meanwhile, boil the pasta water, add salt, and cook the pasta until just cooked (about 3/4 of the way through). Drain, add to the vegetables in the pan, and mix. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a preheated oven (180°C) for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is nicely browned.
