As a general rule I share with you simple recipes to make, Today's is not very complicated, but it does have its things.
Is called cross and is a macaroni timbale with puff pastry. The recipe is not complicated but you have to be alert with the baking time and also work the puff pastry a little so that it does not rise too much.
We go shopping and we organize the time.
Degree of Difficulty: Media
Preparation time: 1h
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 300g macaroni
- 3 sheets of frozen puff pastry
- 150g minced meat
- 100g of York ham
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 egg to paint
- grated cheese
- 1 can of crushed tomato
- butter or margarine
- oil and salt
We already have the ingredients, we start with the preparation. While we prepare the ingredients, we remove the puff pastry from the freezer. In a casserole with boiling water, add the macaroni and a couple of eggs.
In another pan we put the minced meat so that it is done and we add a little crushed tomato and we let it be done with the meat, until the sauce thickens a little.
When we have all the parts, we join them, the hard-boiled eggs in pieces, the ham in tacos, the grated cheese, the minced meat with the tomato and the macaroni. We mix well and it will be ready.
On the other hand we stretch puff pastry with a rolling pin, It should be noted that if it is stretched it loses the ability to lift, not all but most of it. We spread a baking dish with a little margarine or butter, this ingredient acts as a kitchen glue if we join it with the puff pastry. When we have the dough stretched we put it in the mold, cutting it into pieces so that they enter the mold.
We already have the mold assembled, now we put mix it with the macaroni and squeeze it well, so that when cutting it has the shape of a swarm.
We cover the mold with another sheet of puff pastry and paint it. It only remains to bake at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. We must control the oven so that it does not burn. Once we have the finished crust, we de-mold it and ready to serve.
I only have to wish you Bon Appetite. And remind you that the ingredients can vary according to your taste.
