This recipe is based on a Finnish dish. As someone who likes more spicy food, I’ve tested multiple variations of the basic dish and this spinach variation is my favorite version. There really isn’t too much that can go wrong in this recipe. You should leave the macaroni a bit undercooked, as it will still cook when baking the dish, but even that is more a matter of preference, and won’t ruin the dish.

• 500g mince meat
• ~6dl macaroni
• 2 medium sized onions, diced
• 2-3 garlic cloves, diced
• 2 green chilies, sliced
• 200g spinach
• 1-2tbsp garam masala
• 6dl milk
• 3 eggs
• 1-2 tsp salt

1. Cook macaroni a little undercooked
2. Blanch spinach and drain of excess water. Roughly chop the blanched spinach.
3. Sautee onion, garlic and chili until translucent. Increase heat, add mince and cook until browned.
4. Add chopped spinach to the pan and stir until mixture is properly mixed. Season with salt and garam masala.
5. Combine milk and eggs in a bowl and whisk until combined.
6. In casserole tin, combine cooked macaroni and mince mixture. Once mixed, pour milk mixture in to it and bake for 50-60 minutes in 200℃ oven.
