How to make
First prepare the Bolognese sauce. For this purpose, the onion, carrot and garlic are cleaned and cut into small pieces. The onions and carrots are stewed in heated fat and a little later the garlic is added.
Once softened, add the beef minced meat (optional). When it turns white and becomes crumbly, pour the wine.
Wait for it to evaporate, then add the chopped or puréed tomatoes. The sauce is seasoned with salt, oregano, basil and black pepper. Leave it to cook at a moderate temperature, until it thickens.
The rigatoni are boiled, until they're semi-cooked in salted water. When ready, strain them.
Transfer them along with the sauce into a baking pan, stir and place them in the oven to bake for about 40 minutes.
Shortly before the oven-baked pasta is ready, sprinkle it with grated cheese and parmesan.
The Baked Rigatoni Bolognese is a very tasty casserole with minced meat.
