2 servings
40 minutes
Pasta casserole is not at all strange: Ashkenazi kugel, Russian labshevik, Italian lasagna, the sheets for which are also considered pasta, so the Austrian schinkenfleckerln is in good company. It is easier to prepare this dish than to pronounce its name: the combination of noodles, ham and cheese, of course, is full of calories, but scientists are increasingly inclined to believe that fats and carbohydrates can really help us cope with stress. Or you can replace fatty types of ham, for example, with boiled turkey, immediately dropping some of the calorie load. In addition, such a casserole is prepared no longer than scrambled eggs, it fits even into the morning timing and allows you to use up a soapy piece of cheese or the remains of yesterday's pasta. If you cook schinkenfleckerln, Keep in mind that all the best stuff is at the top of the pyramid, where the pasta is baked, becomes a little crispy and covered with a golden brown cheese crust.
