4. Homemade Gouda Cheese Pasta Recipe for Kids
4.1 Ingredients Needed
Italian pasta: ½ packet
Ground beef: 300g
Tomatoes: 3 pieces
Gouda Cheese: 150g (shredded)
Unsweetened fresh milk: 100ml
Tomato sauce
Other seasonings: Salt, cooking oil, vegetable butter, etc.
4.2 Method for Making Gouda Cheese Beef Pasta
Since children usually do not eat onions, garlic, and pepper, mothers do not need to include those seasonings in cooking.
- Step 1: Marinate minced beef with a small spoon of cooking oil and a spoon of salt. Cut tomatoes in half, boil water to blanch. After boiling, peel, remove seeds, and grind into a puree.
- Step 2: Prepare a pot, put it on the stove, and bring water to a boil, ensuring the water covers the Italian pasta. When the water boils, add a small spoon of cooking oil and a spoon of salt to enhance the flavor and prevent sticking. Then add the pasta, gently stir, and let it boil for about 7 to 10 minutes, then remove the pasta into a strainer to drain.
- Step 3: Heat a pan over low heat, add marinated minced beef, then turn up the heat and stir-fry for about 2 minutes to prevent the beef from releasing water, then transfer to a bowl.
- Step 4: Still using the pan from step 3, add a spoon of vegetable butter to the pan and melt. Once the butter has melted, reduce the heat and add the ground tomatoes, stirring evenly.
- Step 5: Add 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk (or filtered water) to prevent the mixture from being too thick. Then add 3 spoons of tomato sauce, a small spoon of salt, and the stir-fried beef from step 3 into the pan, stir evenly for about 3 minutes. Season to taste, pour the pasta into the pan, mix well, sprinkle shredded Gouda cheese on top, and turn off the heat.
- Step 6: Transfer the pasta to a plate, decorate as desired. Each strand of pasta is chewy, delicious, and covered with a creamy sauce.
