Pasta nests with meat in sauce

3 . In a deep frying pan or saucepan fry the finely chopped onion and carrot.

4 . Dissolve the tomato paste in 0.5 liters of boiled water, pour into the pan with the vegetables, salt, pepper, add sugar to balance the taste. I added 1 tbsp., you start with a tsp. Instead of salt and pepper I added Adygean salt.

5 . Let simmer for a few minutes and place the nests in the sauce. Pour in the remaining water so it reaches the top of the nests. In the process, everything will blend into a homogeneous mass. I didn't add salt, but you can try.

6 . Cover with a lid, turn the heat to the lowest setting and stew until the pasta is ready. The pasta varies, so see for yourself when it is ready. In my case it took an hour.

7 . Serve immediately. Bon appetit!
