Turkish Oven Baked Pasta Recipe Is Like Mac And Cheese

BAKED PENNE WITH THREE CHEESES

Baked Penne with Three Cheeses image

I don't believe in serving kids macaroni and cheese every day. It should be treated as an indulgence, because that's what it is. This is my version of the classic macaroni and cheese Xea's grandmother makes. Older kids can easily make this by themselves. Add a big green salad and they can have dinner ready before you get home from work!

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 pound penne rigate pasta
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the penne rigate according to the package directions, minus 1 or 2 minutes of cooking time (see Cook's Note). Drain, then pour the pasta into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
In a 4-quart saucepan, melt the butter on medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until it's dissolved. Add the cream to the saucepan. Add the nutmeg, seasoned salt, and black pepper and whisk the mixture until it's warmed through.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the mozzarella, Cheddar, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir until you have a smooth cheese sauce.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and top with the breadcrumbs.
Bake for about 40 minutes, until the top turns a golden brown.

Mix the grated cheeses with the dried mint, then divide in half and put in 2 bowls. Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain, rinse quickly with cold water, put back into the pan and toss in a little olive oil.
Meanwhile heat a good splash of olive oil in a large, deep frying pan and fry the onion on a low-medium heat for around 8 minutes until softened and only just colouring.
Add the mince, turn up the heat to medium-high and stir regularly to brown the meat. When nearly all the meat is browned, stir in the cinnamon, chopped parsley and pepper/tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
To assemble the macaroni cheese, lightly oil a 2 litre ovenproof dish. Put half the pasta in the dish and sprinkle over one third of the cheese mixture from the first bowl. Add all the mince and sprinkle again with half the remaining cheese. Top with the rest of the pasta and, finally, the rest of the cheese from the first bowl.
