How to prepare Iranian Macaroni recipe with potato casserole

To prepare this delicious dish, you should divide the work into two parts. The first part is preparing the ingredients for this dish and the next step is preparing the dry macaroni.

Step 1

First, put a suitable container on the heat and pour a small amount of oil in it. Peel the onion and after washing it, chop it into very small pieces.

Add the onion to the oil and fry it until its color turns glassy.

Step 2

After the onion becomes a little more transparent, add the minced meat to it and fry well until the color of the meat changes. After that, add the spices to the ingredients as desired and mix together.

Step 3

Finally, add fresh and colorful tomato paste to the ingredients and note that the color of this dish is very important. If your tomato paste has little color, add more or vice versa.

And at this point, your ingredients are ready.

Step 5

Put the water on the heat to boil and cut the pasta into whatever size you like. Many people put it whole in boiling water.

If you have a small child at home, it is better to cut it into two or three parts so that the child can eat it more easily.

After you put them in boiling water, add a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of oil to the boiling water. It takes about 10 minutes for the pasta to soften and become a little less stiff.

Note: That the pasta should not be too soft because your food will become doughy.

Step 6

Drain the pasta and immediately rinse under cold water. Combine the ingredients you prepared in advance with the pasta.
