MACARONI PIE
(Italian)
Three-quarters lb. of cold beef, or mutton, ½ an onion, 3 or 4 tomatoes, ¼ lb. of macaroni, bread-crumbs, grated cheese, stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg.
Cut the beef or mutton into thin slices, peel the onion and slice it thinly, slice the tomatoes, and boil the macaroni in slightly salted water until tender. Cool and drain the macaroni, and cut it up into small pieces. Line a buttered baking-dish with macaroni, and arrange the meat, onion, and tomato slices in layers on the baking-dish. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, pour over a little stock, and cover the top with macaroni. Sprinkle over some bread-crumbs, and grated cheese, and bake for about 20 minutes in a hot oven.
