Casserole with pasta and beef
2 servings
90 minutes
Pasta and beef casserole is a refined dish of Greek cuisine that combines rich aromas and harmonious textures. The recipe's origins trace back to traditional family lunches where the simplicity of ingredients transformed into true culinary delight. The casserole is tender with a crispy cheese crust (if cheese is used) and a rich flavor of tomatoes, beef, and creamy sour cream. Eggs add lightness to the dish while herbs and garlic provide fresh notes. It is perfect as a cozy home dinner or festive treat, easy to prepare and gives a warm feeling of fullness. Served hot straight from the oven, complemented by fresh vegetables and a light Greek salad. It's not just food; it's a gastronomic journey to the heart of the Mediterranean.
