Directions

1
Peel and chop the onion. Peel, wash and slice the carrots. Clean, wash and cut the zucchini lengthwise into halves and slices. Leek onions clean, wash and cut into fine rings.
2
Fry the bacon in a large pan without fat until crispy. Take out and drain on kitchen paper. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the frying fat. Fry carrots and zucchini for about 5 minutes while turning.
3
Add the spring onions and fry for about 2 more minutes. Season well with salt and pepper, remove and put the pan aside.
4
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for about 10 minutes.
5
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the frying fat. Fry the minced meat in it until crumbly. Fry onion cubes briefly. Stir in tomato paste and sweat it on. Add tomatoes and juice and about 150 ml water. Crush the tomatoes a little bit, bring everything to the boil.
6
Stir in broth and oregano. Simmer open for about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7
Drain the pasta. Mix the noodles with the vegetables and chopped sauce. Pour into a large oiled casserole dish. Finely dice or chop the mozzarella and sprinkle over the pasta. Rub Gouda over it. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/recirculating air: 175 °C/gas: level 3) for approx. 20 minutes until golden brown.
8
In the meantime, sort out the rocket, wash, drain well and chop into small pieces. Break the bacon into small pieces. Mix both with vinegar and 1 tsp olive oil. Take the casserole out of the oven. Spread the rocket and bacon mixture over it and serve immediately.
