One of the fastest dishes to cook is naval pasta. Besides the fact that you can cook them in a matter of minutes, it is also very tasty, so they invariably enjoy well-deserved popularity. I must say that dishes similar to this are found in many cultures, which in fact have nothing in common. This is not surprising, since this simple and tasty meal is also very satisfying, which has always been important for a working person.
Even we have more than one naval pasta recipe: they are made from any pasta, any meat, minced meat and even stewed meat, with or without vegetables, but the main thing that remains unchanged is the combination of pasta and meat.
The most common, one might say, the classic navy recipe for pasta is as follows: for 400 - 450 grams of pasta (that is, an ordinary packet), 500 - 600 grams of minced meat is taken, and absolutely any - you can take pork or beef, or mixed, with or without onions. While cooking pasta, minced meat with added salt and spices is fried in a pan in the fat that you prefer, but tastes best in butter. Then, the finished pasta is transferred to the pan, greased with butter and fried until cooked. Before you cook pasta in a navy manner, you can throw some spices into the water where they will be cooked, for example, the same peppercorns and bay leaves - this will give the dish an additional aroma.
In addition, there is a navy recipe for pasta , which uses onion fried in butter. First, finely chopped onion is fried to a golden state, then minced meat is laid out in the pan, and then pasta. The taste of the finished dish is more saturated and aromatic. In this case, 2 onion heads are added to the rest of the ingredients.
The navy recipe for the laziest is the pasta with stew known to us for summer holidays in nature . Despite the fact that everything is being prepared in an absolutely elementary way, the result is invariably amazing - who knows, perhaps because it reminds one of childhood and tourist trips, and sometimes it seems that even a dish cooked at home on the stove smells like a bonfire. Cooking pasta navy in this version is available to absolutely anyone, regardless of his culinary skills and talents.
Some housewives, cooking pasta in a navy manner, take not minced meat, but either finely chopped raw meat or already cooked meat - the result is also excellent. Sometimes there is such an option - pre-cooked meat is skipped through a meat grinder and put in pasta in a navy manner in this form. The only thing is if boiled meat is used, either twisted or chopped, it is best to fry more onions with it, about 3 heads for a package of pasta, otherwise the dish will turn out to be too dry.
In oriental cuisine there are many recipes that are very reminiscent of our naval pasta recipe. For example, in Chinese cuisine there is one very interesting recipe that is very similar to them, only rice noodles are used instead of regular pasta , and soy sauce is used instead of salt, but there is another very interesting nuance - sesame seeds fried in a dry pan, and only then oil and minced meat are added to it. This little highlight gives this dish a very interesting taste. And, of course, various spicy and sour-sweet sweet sauces or stewed vegetables are served to the finished noodles - it turns out very tasty.
No less resemble the navy recipe for pasta and many Italian dishes, only vegetable sauces are also used there, and the meat is slightly less, and it is part of the sauce. In addition, the sauce with pasta does not mix, but is laid out on top of them.
