Cottage Beef and Pasta

Recipe #142326 | 1½ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

This is posted for the World Tour 2005 event. The source is The New Zealand Beef & Lamb Marketing Bureau web site. I've modified the recipe slightly. Since it was first reviewed I noticed that salt, pepper and pepper flakes were missing in the ingredient list, so they have been added. This recipe is better the next day - if you can, make it ahead through step 5, refrigerate and bake before you're ready to serve.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the onion in oil, in a frying pan, on low heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Add the ground beef to the pan, and cook, breaking it up often until the meat is no longer pink. Add the cooked onions back to the pan with the celery, bay leaf and dried herbs, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, and beef stock. Cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water until al dente. Drain and add salt to taste.
  4. 4
    When the meat is cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Mix the pasta with the meat then turn into a baking dish.
  5. 5
    Beat the eggs with the cottage cheese (or yogurt or crème fraiche) and grated cheese. Pour over the meat/pasta mixture.
  6. 6
    Bake at 375C for about 30 minutes until the top has browned and the sauce is bubbly.

I was going to make a lasagne but didn't really feel like doing the bechamel sauce & layering thing so decided to make this instead. Made as directed but found that I would have liked it saucier so added some tomato paste as well as a 700g jar of pasta sauce for a more tomato flavoured saucier dish. Quite nice and a great alternative to lasagne.

    This is the type of meal that quiets grown men, and fills children. This dish absolutely screams comfort, and begs you make it, and devour, even when you are watching those calories. More then easy to put together, had everything in my kitchen, and the aroma smells heavenly. The only change/and or addition I used was mozzarella cheese mixed with cheddar cheese because I ran out. Delicious! Will be making this for "Saturday Lunch on The Farm" I highly recommend this dish. Thanks, PanNan! Made for ZWT3 07

    I made this in the morning and baked for dinner (using cottage cheese). I accidentally baked at 350 (instead of 375) and am wondering if I cooked it long enough (I was in a bit of a rush for the final bake). I was expecting it to puff or something with the eggs and it looked pretty much the same as when it was uncooked. It didn't matter because it was really delicious (whole family enjoyed) but I will be more careful next time. I liked the extra zing that the red pepper flakes added. Thanks Pan Nan, for another comfort food recipe. Roxygirl

    We all really liked this - I think next time I might make just a bit more of the cheese sauce, but not too much - it was very good just as it was. I used plain yogurt since that's what I had in the fridge. The only thing I added was a few sliced black olives. Made for a trip to Australia for ZWT III. Thanks!
