If you're not Maltese, I'll let you in on a little secret. Timpana is near and dear to every Maltese person's heart. But there's something that is very similar, and that we love just as much. Imqarrun il-forn… Baked macaroni. Imqarrun il-forn is basically Timpana without the crust. When Ma was in a rush, she would skip adding the crust. And then she would apologize. She didn't have to apologize for anything. Imqarrun il-forn is just as delicious as Timpana. And it has an extra treat. Usually when the macaroni is baked a few of the top ones get burnt. Oh, how we fought over the burnt bits of pasta! The crusty edges are also delicious. I don't know why, but a crusty, hard piece of semi-fried, tomato meat sauce drenched pasta is just the best. Cut yourself a corner piece and see if you don't agree. And be sure to pick off and enjoy a few burnt bits. Smile, savour and, if you're the cook, don't apologize! About the macaroni… Usually Ma used ziti or penne. In a pinch, elbow. You want something that can be filled by the sauce. Spaghetti would just lay there. Not a good thing. About the tomato paste... If you like a stronger tomato flavour, use the whole can. The cheese / bread crumb topping is optional. If you like it and have time, do it. If you don't, then don't. Imqarrun il-forn Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan In a dutch oven pour 3 Tablespoons olive oil Add 2 onions, chopped Fry until lightly browned. Add 200 grams (about 1/2 pound) ground beef 200 grams (about 1/2 pound) ground pork Cook for about 3 minutes. Add 3 Tablespoons tomato paste 250 ml (about 1 Cup) chicken or beef stock or wine Simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. While the sauce is simmering, in a large pot place 4 quarts water salt to taste Bring to a boil. Add 400 grams (about 1 pound) macaroni Cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente - about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta well and add it to the sauce in the dutch oven. Preheat oven to 350º Beat 4 large eggs Mix them into the sauced macaroni. Add to the macaroni 100 grams (about 1/4 Cup) Parmesan cheese Stir everything together. Pour into the prepared pan. Combine in a small bowl 100 grams (about 1/4 Cup) Parmesan cheese 100 grams (about 1/4 Cup) dry bread crumbs Sprinkle over the top of the pasta. Place the pan, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until you see a few burnt spots. Then you know it's perfect.
