Pasta nests with minced meat in the oven

The pasta nests in the oven will not only bake evenly and very quickly, but will also delight you with a slightly chewy texture created by the melted cheese.

1. 
   How to cook delicious nests from pasta with minced meat? To the defrosted minced meat add finely grated cheese and garlic, finely diced onion, salt, pepper and a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Mix all ingredients immediately until almost homogeneous.
2. 
   Using greased hands, divide the meat base into the number of pasta nests available. In our case, there are six of them.
3. 
   We grease the bottom of the mold with vegetable oil using a silicone brush and lay out our nests.
4. 
   Then place the formed meat balls into the pasta nests. This stage can be called stuffing.
5. 
   Then pour the required amount of warm broth into the mold and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
6. 
   In the meantime, let's start preparing the sauce. Place mayonnaise, sour cream and tomato paste in a bowl. We also season it all with chopped garlic, salt and ground pepper, after which we mix thoroughly until smooth.
7. 
   While we were busy preparing the sauce, our nests had time to brown. Remove the pan from the oven and grease all the pieces with tomato-sour cream sauce.
8. 
   And on top of the sauce we spread cheese grated in advance on a medium grater; it will help hold together all the contents, giving the dish a beautiful shape and an impressive look. And put it in the oven again for 20 minutes.
9. 
   During this time, the cheese will definitely have time to melt and harden slightly. We take out our form, put some chopped herbs on top of the hot cheese. And while the stuffed pasta nests are still hot, let’s quickly start tasting.
