We suggest making the most common recipe for pasta nests with ground meat in a frying pan.

1. Let’s start with the vegetables. Peel and finely chop the onion, and grate the carrots. Lightly fry half the onion and carrots in a frying pan with olive oil. Add the tomato paste and half a cup of boiling water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine the ground meat with the remaining chopped onion, adding salt and pepper to taste.
3. Fill the dry pasta nests with the resulting mixture. Then carefully lower them into the vegetable sauce. It’s important that the nests are completely submerged in the liquid, otherwise they won’t cook through.
4. Cover tightly and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Five minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle the nests with grated cheese. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
