Macaroni Bil Laham is a family-table classic of Gulf cooking, a baked pasta made by cooking minced beef with a spice blend and tomato sauce and layering it with boiled pasta before baking. The amount of chilli and spice can be freely adjusted to each family's taste.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

8 min

Boil the pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, then drain.

2

Brown the meat

8 min

Sauté the onion in the olive oil, add the minced beef, and cook for 8 minutes until it changes colour.

3

Cook the sauce

12 min

Add the chilli, spice blend, tomato sauce and salt, and simmer over low heat for 12 minutes.

4

Bake

20 min

Toss the boiled pasta with the sauce, transfer to a baking dish, and bake in an oven preheated to 190°C for 20 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Reminder

Baharat karışımını evde bulamadım, kendim tarçın, karanfil ve karabiberle karıştırıp yapabilir miyim, yoksa hazır Körfez baharatı olmadan tat çok mu farklı çıkar; bir de iki acı biber çok mu keskin olur acaba?
