A hearty and flavorful baked pasta dish combining savory ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a cheesy topping.
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Don't overcook the pasta as it will continue cooking in the oven.
In a frying pan, sauté the ground beef with the chopped onion until browned.
Break up the beef into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the grated carrot, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook for 10 minutes on low heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef mixture and chopped parsley in a large bowl.
Ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish.
Press down gently to create an even layer.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and mix with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the pasta.
Ensure the topping covers the entire surface for a golden crust.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to set the layers.
Serve warm with a side of salad or your favorite bread.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
