Come preparare

1
Heat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 23 × 33 cm baking dish and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2
Cook the pasta in the boiling water until 2 minutes short of the package timing, about 8–9 minutes. Drain well; do not rinse.
3
While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the onion into small dice, mince the garlic, and sauté both for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
4
Add the minced beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains and the meat reaches 74°C. Season with paprika, half the salt, and the pepper.

5
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer uncovered for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
6
Mix the drained pasta with the beef sauce, then transfer it to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
7
Spread the sour cream over the pasta, sprinkle the grated Gouda evenly on top, and bake for 18–20 minutes until bubbling at the edges and deeply golden in spots.

Rest the bake for 8 minutes so the sauce settles, then spoon into portions and serve hot.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Briefly simmering the beef sauce concentrates its paprika and tomato flavor, while the creamy sour cream topping keeps the pasta moist beneath a browned, savory cheese crust.
