A holiday classic on Egyptian family tables, makarona béchamel layers pasta with a minced meat sauce made quickly in a pressure cooker, then bakes it under a béchamel topping. Getting the layers balanced takes skill; a sauce that is too watery makes the slices fall apart.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the meat sauce

8 min

Sauté the onion, add the ground beef, stir in the tomato sauce and salt, close the pressure cooker lid and cook for 8 minutes under pressure.

2

Make the béchamel

10 min

Melt the butter, stir in the flour and cook briefly, then gradually whisk in the milk and stir for 10 minutes until thickened.

3

Layer

7 min

Spread the boiled pasta in a baking dish, pour the meat sauce over it, and cover with the béchamel sauce.

4

Bake

30 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C for 30 minutes until golden on top.

Reminder

Thicken the béchamel well before pouring it over the pasta; a watery sauce blends the layers together and makes the slices fall apart. Allergens: contains gluten (pasta, flour) and milk and dairy (milk, butter).

Beşameli 10 dakika yerine 6 dakikada yeterince koyulaştırmadan döktüm, 30 dakikalık fırınlamadan sonra dilimlediğimde katmanlar birbirine karışıp dağıldı. Sos kaşığın arkasını kaplayana kadar beklemem gerekiyormuş, tadı yine de güzeldi.
